The Role of Women in Judaism
There is not much difference between men and women when it comes to Judaism. Both of them are seen as separate, but equal. Respect to women was a part of their ethnic culture. There is a required respect for the mother and father in the Ten Commandments. In Judaism, a woman's obligations and responsibilities are just as important as a man's, maybe even more important sometimes. Women are also favored with a greater degree of "binah", which means to have intuition, understanding, and intelligence. The keeper of the household is not the man, it is the woman.
Women have certain mitzvots. These mitzvots are "nerot", meaning to light the candle, "challah", meaning to separating a portion of dough and "niddah", meaning the sexual separation during menstrual periods, Even though women are seen as equal to men, there are various rabbis who will say women are lazy and discourage them from pursuing higher education and religious pursuits.
