A G-D-FEARING WOMAN: COMPELLED TO BE HERSELF
Charm is false, and beauty is futile; a G-d-fearing woman is to be praised. (Mishlei 31:30)
A mother feels compelled to answer a baby’s cry, not because someone is forcing her, but because the bond of mother to her child is integral to her being. As a mother, she simply must help her child.
At his core, a Jew is one with G-dliness. This is not simply something he does or even something he enjoys; it touches his essence. In exile, one might perform mitzvos out of habit or a feeling of responsibility. Behind this feeling, however, is hidden an awareness that G-dliness is simply who we are.
