Summary

This quote suggests that orthodox Judaism limits the inclusion and participation of women in religious practices and rituals. Orthodox Judaism traditionally assigns distinct gender roles and responsibilities, and women are typically excluded from certain rites, leadership positions, and aspects of religious life. Women might have limited or no access to religious spaces, and their involvement in prayer services and studying religious texts may be limited. This exclusion raises questions about gender equality and representation within the context of the orthodox Jewish faith.

I must talk, and you must listen, for we are engaged here in the most important pursuit in history: the search for meaning. What is the nature of being a person? What is the best way to go about being a person? How did we come to be, and what will become of us when we are no longer? In short: What are the rules of this game, and how might we best play it?

And the view was suddenly clear to me. The world opened out

And the view was suddenly clear to me. The world opened out to its grim beyonds and I realized that, at forty, one must learn the rigors of acceptance. Capitalize it: Acceptance. I needed to accept what was put before me--be it a watery grave in Ireland's only natural fjord, or a return to the city and its grayer intensities, or a wordless exile in some steaming Cambodian swamp hole, or poems or no poems, or children or not, lovers or not, illness or otherwise, success or its absence. I would accept all that was put in my way, from here on through until I breathed my last.
