Toldos Yitzchok (Bereishis 2:21): And G‑d caused man to become unconscious [when
He made Eve] – This unconscious state [associated with the creation of woman] -
hints that man should make himself unconscious when he is in his house and not
to be critical and fussy with his wife and household
תולדות יצחק (בראשית ב:כא): ויפל יי' אלהים תרדמה, רמז שהאדם יעשה עצמו נרדם בביתו, ולא יהיה
קפדן עם אשתו ובני ביתו.
A little blind, deaf and dumb was advice I was given when I got married.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of hilchos shabbos in the mishna berura, he has strong words for those who get upset at home during shabbos preperations.
What does he mean by unconscious? I try to be oblivious to what's happening, but everytime I do this, my wife yells at me for not caring or being lazy.
