moment he walks into the house. She yearns to know and see on
his face and in all of his actions that his “house” – his wife - gives דוּח ֶא ָה ה ִר ְֶֶיּ ִֶ י ֵד ְכּ ,םֶי ַנ ְֶ ם ָתּא אֹר ְב ֶל ה ָנ ָכ ֲה ַו י ֶע ָצ ְמ ִא
him pleasure. At times the husband returns home absorbed in some ףוּגּ וּי ְהֶיּ ִֶ ...ם ִהי ֵני ֵבּ ה ָו ֲח ַא ְו ה ָב ֲה ַא א ֵה ְתּ ִֶ י ֵד ְכּ" - ם ִהי ֵני ֵבּ
matter and so he pays no attention to his wife. His wife becomes
disappointed and gets insulted “Why isn’t he happy to come home?” א ָלּ ִא ,ה ָוּ ַח ְו ם ָד ָא ת ַרי ֶצְי ל ַע ר ַר רוּמ ָא ה ִז פי ֵא ."ֶ ָמּ ַמ ד ָח ִא
She worked hard all day for him to make the household pleasant for ת ַבּ ד ָל ָוּ ַה ת ַרי ֶצְי י ֵנ ְפ ֶל םּי םי ֶע ָבּ ְר ַא םי ֶזי ֶר ְכ ַמ י ֵר ֲה ה ָרי ֶצְי ל ָכ ְבּ
him and she takes his inattention as a personal insult. The home
is the world of the woman, and within her home she wants to find ּתּ ֶא םי ֶר ְצּי ֶי ֶא ָה ת ַרי ֶצְי ת ַלּ ֶח ְת ֶבּ ִֶ ,רֹמא ֵל ,י ֶנּל ְפ ֶל תי ֶנּל ְׁ
her satisfaction. (Even if the wife leaves the house and goes out to ם ֵֶ ְבּ א ָבוּמ ךְ ָכּ( ּגוּז ת ַבּ ת ַמ ְֶ ֶנ ת ִא וי ָל ֵא םי ֶמי ֶא ְת ַמוּ ד ַחַי
work – she wants her main satisfaction to come from her house). .)ז"ט ר ִר ִׁ ה ָשּׁ ֻד ְקּ ַה י ֵר ֲע ֶַ ה ָמ ְכ ָח תי ֶֶא ֵר ר ִפ ֵס ְבּ ֶּד ָקּ ַה ר ַהֹזּ ַה
Her sense of satisfaction from her home is entirely dependent on
her husband – how much he devotes his heart to paying attention ל ַעֹפ ְבּ אי ֶב ָה ְל גוּזּ ַה י ֵנ ְבּ י ֵנ ְֶ פי ֵבּ ל ַעֹפ ְבּ ה ָמ ָא ְת ַה ַה ת ִא םָלוּא
to her and demonstrates to her his affection, and in so doing he
expresses to her that she is his true life’s partner standing beside א ֵרּבּ ַה רי ֶא ְֶ ֶה ,ד ָח ִא הִי ְהֶי בוֶּ םֶי ַנ ְשּׁ ַה ֵמּ ִֶ ,"ה ָרי ֶצְי ַה ת ַנ ָוּ ַכ" ְל
him doing his will. Thus, the pleasantness and tranquility of the י ֵמְי ל ָכ ְבּ אוּה הּ ָכ ֵֶ ְמ ִה ְו ה ָנֶּא ֶר ה ָנ ֶָ ְבּ וּנ ֵת ָדּב ֲע י ֶהּז .וּנ ָל

Chapter 2 - Lesson 3
.ה רמאמ
Closeness \ Bonding to her by engaging her in ה ָמי ִע ְנוּ ה ָבוֹט ַחוּר
conversation.
(Gemara Kedushin 49b) “Ten measures of talking descended into ןוֹר ְס ֶח ה ָא ְר ַמ ץ ֶר ֶא ךְ ֶר ֶדּ ת ַדּ ְר ֶח ְו דוֹב ָכ ְבּ תוּס ֲח ַי ְת ִה םי ִמ ָע ְפ ִל"
the world at Creation and from them women took nine measures.”
What is this lesson being taught to us by Chazal? Is it that women תּמ ָבְי[ ל" ַז ַר ר ַמ ֲא ַמ ר ֵא ָב ְל םי ֶנ ָוּ ֻכ ְמ םי ֶר ָב ְדּ ַה ִֶ פ ֵכ ָתֶּי ."בוּר ֵק
were “successful” in snatching more than the men? With absolute "ּפוּגּ ֶמ ר ֵתּי הּ ָד ְבּ ַכ ְמוּ ּפוּג ְכּ ּתּ ְֶ ֶא ת ִא ב ֵהּא ָה" ]ב"ע ב"ס
certainty in this teaching of the Gemara there lies a deep, profound א ָלּ ִא ,ץ ִר ִא ךְ ִר ִדּ י ֵנוּנּ ֶג ְבּ דּב ָכּ הּ ָל ת ֵת ָל ל" ַז ֲח ת ַנ ָוּ ַכּ פי ֵא ִֶ -
lesson in the created nature of women.

Chazal disclosed to us even more on this topic in Midrash Rabbah
(Beresheet 18:2). “Rebbe Yehudah from Saknin said in the name of ת ִב ִהּא אי ֶה .)ּנּצ ְר ם ֶע תוּב ְשּׁ ַח ְת ֶה אוּה ּדּב ְכּ - ּדּב ְכּ אוּה
