In Feminine Faith, fourth Rebbe of Chabad, Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch, delivers a profound exploration of the unique gifts of the feminine soul and its connection to the essence of Divine reality.

Written towards the end of 1879, Feminine Faith explores why the Rosh Chodesh-New Moon is celebrated primarily by women, why the women did not participate in the sin of Golden Calf and how women posses a natural, inherent belief in the Divine.

Part of the popular Chasidic Heritage Series published by the Kehot Publication Society, Feminine Faith speaks in a manner once profound yet accessible to today’s modern women and girls.

“It is remarkable how an essay written by a Chasidic Rebbe in 1879 can bring thought-provoking clarity to a subject so blurred with ambiguity as is the matter of gender delineation in today’s day and age,” says Rabbi Yosef B. Friedman, of Kehot Publication Society.

It was Chanukah, and my friend Shmuley and I were in Washington, interning at American Friends of Lubavitch, sponsors of the monumental National Menorah on the Ellipse.
