our link would like to know and you
recent events in Jerusalem he feels that
that the Orthodox community in Israel
relegates women to his class of
second-rate citizenry seems to be a
similarity between the Jewish Orthodox
view of the role of women and the
Islamic view please comment I think
you've done that before but I'm not sure
that the Islamic viewers they'd still be
talking from the Torah but they might
have misinterpreted and not look at it
the right way so I can't comment and
Islamic ideas as far as Torah thought is
concerned everybody in this world has
their place in society Kohana who are
the priests we call them who served in
the holy temple at the time of the
existence of the temple that they took
and even today they go up in front of
the shul we have 10 men and they give a
blessing whether it's fighting do it
every day I should not do it on holidays
that's the special privilege and their
duty and they have special laws that
apply to them Levine have special laws
applied to them Israel in have was
applied to us not only nations of the
world men have their obligations women
have their obligations and Kings have
their obligations the king could be
Freddie shaved any kind in the Laveen
have to come from the certain family of
lavey
the king could come from any of the
Schwartz many of the tribes any of the
branches of Judah can remain in shipment
but the house of David is the one that
was designated to have the Kings
ultimately from comes from that from
that chambers of the Buddha first King
was from choking Shah was not from
yahuda so they have there
obligations the tribe of you who doesn't
but for those kings
everybody has their obligation and their
place in Judaism men women behind them
the VM and so on
so it's not that we put anybody down we
say that everybody has to fulfill their
obligation to that become a great nation
together everybody puts in their input
with whatever we have every person has
their own talent every private person in
every shade has their own talent and
their own eye capability of producing
something that nobody else can do and
they have an obligation to bring the
data into the open and donate it to the
Jewish nation so women I don't know what
this person means exactly we put them
down we don't put that women in any way
we are opposite we we hold him in the
highest theme if we look back into
history the way that the world is that
we treat women was was was was it was
shameful until the Torah came along and
made sure that women's rights that we
have in the Torah that who has to be
written the marriage contract which has
the obligations of husband to a wife
which is say something shined the world
the way used to treat their wives before
the Torah came along and showed how we
have to treat the women so our widest
and the daughters are know and they have
their place in the world they have they
bring up the family they have their
childbearing capabilities and they have
to they have to do what they have to do
I don't know if this person means
exactly we put them down maybe he means
in the show that we put them around in
the pizza maybe means that that is as
far as that's concerned a north of that
shul that we keep the women behind in
the pizza but that's not putting them
down that's only we're realizing the
weaknesses of men and women that they
have attraction to one another and
therefore during the prayer to God that
we want to concentrate and put our
thoughts totally under prayer
and not who's sitting next to us or not
that wife and that that husband and what
looking at them looking at them to
distract us from our prayers and
therefore we separate men from women
which makes a lot of sense everybody
thinks about it not be putting anybody
down just with making the prayer more a
table for us to concentrate and prayer
back we should so I I don't see but
don't know what that person that was
very vague about what he meant about
that we put down women but we don't come
to the world to come everybody who
fulfilled their obligation will be have
a front seat in the world to come in the
women who did their application remember
application the kind of application
everybody did their their application
made a wonderful beautiful nation
together everybody's putting what they
have and we'll all be having fun seat in
the world to come
