Womanhood in the Teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

A thought-provoking collection of ten lively essays outlining the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on subjects of particular interest to women - social involvement, equal rights, family planning, enlightened parenting, women's Torah study and observance, and many other topical subjects.

Far from merely enumerating the rights and obligations of women according to Jewish law, A Partner in the Dynamic of Creation opens the reader's eyes to a refreshingly broad world-picture, which springs into vibrant color as the Rebbe unveils and illuminates the human and cosmic repercussions of each of the major commandments involving women.

From this perspective, a woman can understand how when she observes the dietary laws or the laws of family purity, she is not merely following a restrictive routine: she is affecting the spiritual and even the physical well-being of her family; she is building eternity; she is, in a very real and literal sense, a partner in the dynamic of Creation.
