Video: The Feminine Mystique

The women make up the Secret Service Division of the Army of Hashem.

Rochel Holzkenner uses the concept of the mirrors that the women brought for the Beis Hamikdash as the feminine modality: materialism with spiritual potential.

She discusses masculine and feminine spiritual forces, emphasizing, for example, that motherhood is the drawing out of the latent potential in the child. She shares stories, words of the Rebbe and pesukim in the Chumash to elucidate the physical and spiritual roles of women.

Rochel Holzkenner is the co-director of Chabad of Las Olas with her husband Rabbi Sholom Holzkenner. Rochel teaches in the Rohr Bais Chaya High School and the Chaya Aydel Seminary. Rochel is an affiliate of the Rosh Chodesh Society, a division of the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute. She holds an MS in Brain Research Education from Nova SE University.
