Do women occupy a secondary position in Lubavitch philosophy?
Secondary? No! The high standing of Jewish women in Lubavitch is central to the survival of Judaism. As the cornerstone of Jewish family life, the woman can attain a profound and meaningful spirituality, one that fulfills her deepest needs and aspirations opening fresh perspectives on self-understanding, growth and Torah knowledge. Ignorance, misconceptions, and outright myths about Jewish women have prevailed until very recently, turning many people away from an appreciation of Torah and a traditional Jewish lifestyle. Lubavitch is working to correct those misconceptions.
