Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David open a living doorway into תְּפִלַּת נָשִׁים (women’s prayer) and why holy masters refused to daven without a women’s section. With the Biale Rebbe, the Sar Shalom of Belz, and Reb Aharon of Belz, we hear a simple, searing standard: if the gates of prayer feel closed, we must lean on the gates of tears, which never close. And whose tears flow most readily? “נָשִׁים דִּמְעָתָן מְצוּיָה” (women’s tears are near at hand).
We revisit רִבְקָה אִמֵּנוּ (Rivka Imeinu), רָחֵל אִמֵּנוּ (Rachel Imeinu) and חַנָּה (Chana)—the mothers whose inner voice and holy tears became the blueprint of the foundations of prayer. And we learn why certain tzaddikim delayed inaugurations, paused before the amud, or spoke first to the women on Yom Kippur night: because women's prayer lifts the room and with it, all of Am Yisrael.
