Wisdom from the Hebrew Talmud


This is written in the Hebrew Talmud, the book where all of the sayings and preaching of Rabbis are conserved over time. It says:

Be very careful if you make a woman cry
because God counts her tears.

Every tear a woman shed is equivalent
of man’s sacrifices in life.

The woman came from a man’s rib,
not on his feet to be stepped on;
not on his head to be superior,
but on his side to be equal.

Under his arms to be protected &
near his heart to be loved.

– Hebrew Talmud
