"#EishetChayil: Woman of Valor – Heroines of Our History is a commentary on the 22 verses of #Proverbs 31, based on #midrash, the #Talmud, classic #rabbinic texts, and #ChabadHassidut. It is published by #Kehot, the central publishing house of the #Chabad-#Lubavitch movement.
The #book does not merely explain “Eishet Chayil”; it positions it as a sweeping #theological and historical statement about #Jewish #womanhood and Jewish survival. The tone is set early on, with sentences like, “At every critical juncture of our long and challenging history, you will find the fearless and wise eishet chayil shepherding us toward our destiny.”
One of the book’s central claims is clear and consistent: Jewish #history does not merely include #women; it is propelled by them."
The Talmud (AD 200-500) Collection of Jewish rabbinical writings
Mishnah, Pirkei Avot [Ethics of the Fathers; פִּרְקֵי אָבוֹת] 2:16

"#RavKook’s exceptionalism lies in the fact that his ideas remain relevant even in 2026, reinforcing the impact noted above.
This enduring influence is especially evident in his #writings, which present unique challenges in #translation. Anyone who has used a Soncino translation of the #Talmud knows that translation can leave one with still a long way to go in figuring out the meaning of the original text.
#Rabbi #AryehSklar has addressed this challenge in Rav Kook’s Guide for Today’s Perplexed (#KodeshPress). More than just a translation, #Sklar’s edition includes extensive footnotes to fill in many gaps, adding essential details and context not apparent in the original text.
Adding further depth to the work, the #book itself has a fascinating history. It remained an unpublished #manuscript for more than a century before #Rabbi #ShacharRachmani released it in full in 2014 as For the Perplexed of the Generation (LeNevuchei haDor)."

In today’s #talmud page: a righteous donkey 🫏 (and its human 👤) on a rescue mission 🚨. Along the way they meet a river 🌊 that does not want to be interrupted 😤, a forgetful innkeeper, some terrifying white chaos mules of death ⚪🐴💀, and discover an ingenious way to block men who won’t stop asking you to dinner 🚫🍽️🙅♀️

We’ve landed in Tractate Chullin, aka “ordinary” everyday #kosher consumption of mammals and birds in non-temple contexts.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the #Talmud thus far, it’s that NOTHING that appears “ordinary” is actually that way! 👀 HA!
Welcome to #DafReactions Chullin 4: “Ordinary!?”😂

We’ve talked about the First Temple in Jerusalem.
We’ve talked about the Second Temple in Jerusalem.
But I was today years old when I learned about… the Temple in Egypt?! 🤯
