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.
