So I was just waiting for this post, haha. This chapter was read to my sister and I, every Shabbat, probably from the time I was about 11 or 12, until I left my parents house at 22. My dad used to say that very little was written about women in the Torah, ONLY because it was likely written by men, but in no way did that mean we were "less than." So, he said, he read that to us every Sabbath so that we would know how much we do, how much we are capable of, how important and integral we are to the community, and that we should be told that we are. And so to this day I pretty much remember that entire passage by heart lol and, as much as I've learned to celebrate me from that passage, it will ALWAYS remind me of my father. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ PS, excited for Job.
This is so beautiful! This was my first time reading the book of Proverbs. I never learnt it in Tanach at school maybe because it's quite difficult or maybe because it raises a lot of questions. But I've really enjoyed learning it alongside your interpretations and through the feminist queer reading. And I'm glad and so interested in the fact that you say Lady Wisdom will be back in Job. Looking forward! 🙂🙏
