                                   Chapter 5 - Lesson 3                                                                א רמאמ - י ֶֶי ֶמ ֲח ר ִר ִׁ

             Sometimes the wife is more expert than her husband in financial                       ֶוּר ָדּ אלֹ .א ָר ְמוּח ְל ג ֵה ַנ ְת ֶנ ר ֵפ ָס ת ַמ ֲח ֵמּ ִֶ הּ ָל ר ַמּל ְו ,ה ָכ ָל ֲה
             matters and it is possible to leave to her the money management
             of the household expenses, and taking care of the bank statements                     ךְ ַא  ,ךְוּר ָע  פ ָח ְל ֻשּׁ ַה  י ֵר ְל ִח  ל ָכ ְבּ  ה ָרוּר ְבּ  ה ָכ ָל ֲה  ע ַדֵיּ ִֶ  וּנּ ִמּ ֶמ
             and the like.  Or there are instances where the wife is not expert or                 ,תּרּר ְמּ ַה ךְּתּ ֶמ הּ ָתּא ר ֵר ָבְי אוּה - ה ָל ֵא ְֶ ת ִר ִרּע ְת ֶמ ר ִֶ ֲא ַכּ
             talented in these matters, and in those cases those matters become
             the responsibility of the husband.  In any event, at times when there                 ל ָל ְכ ֶבּ .רוּר ָבּ ר ָס ְׁ ּתּ ְֶ ֶא ְל אי ֶבָי ְו ,ה ָא ָרּה ה ֵרּמ לֹא ְֶ ֶל ךְ ֵלֵי ּא
             is financial pressure and additional money is required to balance                     ,תּכ ָל ֲה דוּמּ ֶל ְל פ ַמ ְז ֶי ֶדּ ְר ַה ְל ךְי ֶר ָצ אוּה ִֶ ת ַע ַד ָל ךְ ֵר ְב ַא ָה ל ַע
             the household budget, obtaining a loan is the responsibility of the
             husband, as we said this earlier.                                                     פ ָתּא  ה ָד ְמ ָל  ּתּ ְֶ ֶא  פ ָר ְל ִח ְבּ(  תֶי ַבּ ַל  תּע ְגּנּ ַה  ה ִלּ ֵא ְל  דוּחֶי ְבּ

             Prior  to  her  marriage  the  wife  absorbed  her  spirituality  from  a
             number of different places; from her father’s house, from lectures                    ת ַע ַדּ לוּקּ ֶֶ םי ֶֶ ְרּדּ םי ֶרוּדּ ֶה ְו תּר ְמוּח ,םי ֶנ ָׁ ל ָכּ ל ַע .ּתּ ְֶ ֶא
             and from study groups in Beit Yaakov seminary.  Now she looks to                                                 .פּכ ָנ
             her husband to set the direction of the family in the ways of Torah
             and to provide her with her spiritual sustenance.  All this is included               ,פ ָעּצ ְר ֶמ ת ַמ ֲח ֵמ ה ָבוֶּ ֲח ה ָד ְמ ִע תּל ֲע ַבּ םי ֶֶ ָנ ם ַגּ ִֶ םי ֶאּר וּנָא
             within the Torah’s category of “She’er” - to give her all of her needs,
             including her spiritual needs.  On occasion the young husband is                      פ ָתי ֵב ְבּ ִֶ תּצּר ,ר ִפ ֵס י ֵתּ ָבּ תּל ֲה ַנ ְמ ּא תּרי ֶכ ְבּ תּרּמ פּג ְכּ
             indecisive when confronted by this obligation.  It is possible that
             his wife studied more chapters than he did in the Kuzari, in the                      תּר ֵֶ ְכּ םי ֶֶ ָנ תּי ְה ֶל תּצּר פ ֵה ְו ,תֶי ַבּ ַה ת ִא גי ֶה ְנ ַמ ל ַע ַבּ ַה הִי ְהֶי
             Ramban and in the Michtav M’Eliyahu, since he is fully immersed                       ה ָב ָה .ה ָשּׁ ֶא ָה ע ַב ִט ְבּ  ַעוּב ָט ה ִז ,רוּמ ָא ָכּ .פ ִהי ֵל ֲע ַבּ פּצ ְר תּשּׂע ָה
             in the study of the Gemara and its commentaries.  Chatan – Do                                        .ךְ ָכ ְל תוּר ֶָ ְפ ִא ָה ת ִא הּ ָל פ ֵתּ ֶנ
             not worry about this; your wife knows that, and her teachers have
             said and emphasized to her what a Ben Torah is and what a Ben
             yeshiva is.  With all of this she hopes that he will be at the level of a                                        
             Talmid Chacham who will provide her with the spiritual “food” she
             needs.  With a little effort and a good attitude it will not be difficult
