Is it possible that the Messianic reality of utopia is really about feminine empowerment, nonhierarchy and moving past the gender binary? We’ll explore the origins of gender hierarchy in Torah, Mishnah and kabbalah and understand some of the later hasidic interpretations through a feminist and ecological lens. We’ll discuss the paradigms presented in classic kabbalah and hasidic philosophy and understand how the rectification can be applied in our own society, workplaces and personal lives.
