The Foundation of the Home by Rabbi Chaim Shmuel Weber – Hardcover

Why is a woman rewarded as though she learned Torah lishmah without being obligated to learn? Rabbi Chaim Shmuel Weber works through such apparent contradictions, covering her partnership in limud haTorah, tznius, and the nashim tzidkaniyos and the Geulah. A selection of tefillos for women closes the book.

A Woman's role in building her home, upholding her husbands's Torah, and bringing the Shechinah into Klal Yisrael

The role of a Jewish woman is as unique as it is—seemingly—paradoxical. She is a different person than her husband, yet she is fundamentally part of his very being. She was part of Kabbalas HaTorah at Har Sinai, yet she is not obligated in many mitzvos. She earns reward in Olam Haba as though she learned Torah lishmah, yet she has no obligation to learn Torah. How are we to understand all of this?

In The Foundation of the Home, these apparent contradictions are explored and explained, in context with discussing the significance, uniqueness, and beauty of the Jewish woman’s role.

• What is the partnership of the man and woman in the mitzvah of limud haTorah, and how does she fulfill it?
• What is the yetzer hara that fights specifically against the Jewish woman?
• How does the Jewish woman’s role affect her, her family, Klal Yisrael…and even the Shechinah itself?
• Why does tznius merit such great reward, and is it only for women?
• What does it mean that the nashim tzidkaniyos will bring the Geulah?

This book is a must-read for every woman, and eye-opening for men as well. The subjects discussed within are from the underlying foundations of Klal Yisrael's existence and survival throughout the generations. It will enlighten and inspire, and will reveal the true Foundation of the Home.

Includes a selection of beautiful tefillos for women to recite throughout the various milestones of their lives.
