The Women of the Wall showing up in tallis and tefillin is (1) the 1980’s called, they want their women’s liberation movement back. (2) women in ritual objects intended solely for men is either (1) displaying a deep sense of inadequacy as a woman or (2) indulging in a profane,

at best, fetish. The masculinization of women has hurt women, hurt men, and likely hurt children the most.

As much as the modern mind finds it difficult to comprehend, there are forces that zero in on the tiny bits of culture and morality today that are still pure and holy. The aspects of culture and law that are miraculously safe from the pervasive and thorough defilement of the

past hundred years, are an irresistible target from various angles. It’s a force to recognize.
An urge to defile the holy.
Reverse Maccabees. #chochmatnashim #WOtW

The term Hellenists is not really strong enough. Because we live in a post-Hellenist world where most of the oil has already been defiled. Hellenism isn’t new or exciting anymore; it’s a fait accompli. Those frantically searching for a tiny cask of still sealed oil to

uncover and adulterate are not really Hellenists; they’re Reverse Maccabees. Those who invite secular governments into schools that teach holiness, that worship the dreidel over the Chumash, are not Hellenists in a world where Enlightenment values are status quo;

they are Reverse Maccabees.
