Reply To: A Hashkafa Question I have no one to ask

Rav –

“Also the question is based on the modern feminist way of thinking of yourself as an individual instead of as one part of a family unit where everyone in the family does their part”

I specifically pointed out quite the contrary in my question.
I understand very well that a woman has the special תפקיד to take care of her home and family. This doesn’t negate my question of why we can’t have this familial responsibility while having מצוות עשה שהזמן גרמא.

Haimy-

“Why did Hashem make this world the way it is & not some other way? That is the outline of this question.
The answer: This fantasy question has no relevance to your life. We are totally underequipped to start contemplating a better way for the world to have been created.”

Yidden are encouraged to ask questions and to seek answers, so whether or not this question may be imaginative, it nonetheless deserves an answer.
I am not wondering why Hashem won’t change the world to how I think it would be better, rather I am wondering why Hashem chose to make it this way and not differently.

“Ignore these types of questions & start living purposefully, the questions will hopefully go away on their own.”

I choose not to ignore questions and let them “go away on their own” because I don’t like pushing away an opportunity to satisfy my questions with intelligent answers. I have already gained much insight from this forum and from other outside sources regarding this topic. Some questions in Yiddishkeit don’t have answers, but it is apparent through the responses here that my questions have countless satisfying answers.

Having questions isn’t a contradiction to living a purposeful life. Quite the contrary, it’s the questions themselves that help us live meaningful, stimulating, inspiring, and fulfilled lives.

Maybe you should stop pushing valid questions under the rug without giving them answers just because you refuse to acknowledge that answers exist.
