Chava

Biblical women played a major role in history,
Because they were in touch with their femininity,
The difference between masculine and feminine energy,
Is like the difference between waffles and spaghetti.

Each waffle square can be easily identified,
While the strands of spaghetti are completely intertwined,
The male energy appreciates structure, order and ritualized performance,
While the female energy is one of transendence.

Hashem expresses Himself in both male and female ways,
With 6 male attributes He created the world in 6 days,
Magnificent but finite, is how each creation is seen,
Holy and infinite is the Shabbos queen.

The attribute of nobility is a state of being,
It is beyond achieving, rather open to receiving,
It seems lowest because it comes at the end of the line,
Yet that is where Hashem's infinite essence can shine!

Shabbos relies on the weekdays that come before,
But to the week ahead it gives back infinitely more,
Because a woman is open to receive,
Within her womb, a baby, only she can conceive.

Chava was the first Biblical woman with the key,
To look beyond the surface and have the sensitivity,
To discover Hashem's unspoken, inner will and make it a reality,
In addition to the outer will that is plain to see.

In Gan Eden, Hashem did create,
Adam and Chava who were truly great,
How could it be, we need to understand,
That Adam and Chava didn't obey Hashem's only command?

"Do not eat from the tree of knowledge," Adam was told,
To eat from the tree how could they be so bold?
They could eat with permission, once Shabbos would begin,
For just a few hours, why couldn't they listen?

Adam and Chava were very clever,
Their decision would impact their children forever,
Their first choice was from the tree to abstain,
Righteous Tzadikim, pure and holy, they would remain.

Their second choice was to get their hands spiritually dirty,
And discover the G-dliness hidden in the earthly,
The good from the bad they would separate and elevate,
They would fix the world and make it great.

Chava understood Hashem's true desire,
They had to descend to a reach a level much higher,
Coming down to earth is not a tragedy,
It is an opportunity to make the physical world G-dly.

A loss of G-dliness is the definition of a sin,
But the highest level of G-dliness, is not in heaven,
They left the Garden of Eden with a great mission,
To make a home for Hashem, they would begin.

From Hashem this sin would temporarily draw them apart,
But they would return to Hashem with all their heart,
Although from the Garden of Eden they were banned,
A Bal Teshuva's place is greater than where a Tzaddik does stand.
