THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST

[REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL]

Berachos 010: Elisha and the Shunamis
Yehoash Orange asks:
Why is it considered such a great thing that a woman can see the
greatnessof people because she sees if he
had keri and if there are flies near him. Can't a man see those things?
Yehoash Orange, Brooklyn, NY
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies:
The Gemara is not saying that a woman is greater than a man. Rather,
as the Maharsha explains, it is
saying that a woman is more likely to notice the nature of her guests
as she is home more (and probably
taking care of his table and bed), and therefore is more likely to
observe these things about her guests.
All the best,
Yaakov Montrose
