The Rectification of Kingdom Through Certainty in Gender Identity

Wonders | June 27, 2025

From this, we can learn something very profound related to our generation. The blemish of kingdom is the blurring of gender identity. If anyone can be “androgynous”— unsure about whether they are male or female, or perhaps both—that constitutes a breakdown of kingdom, of society. The Torah here is describing a state of “half-half ” as one that is not good—it is an undesirable situation.

We can say this in another way. Who is the archetypal soul of kingdom. Everyone knows that the archetypal soul of foundation is Joseph the Righteous and that the archetypal soul of loving-kindness is Abraham our Patriarch, and so on regarding the other sefirot. But what about kingdom? It is associated with the month of Iyar, and if you write Iyar with two yuds (ירִא), it serves as an acronym for the four archetypal souls of the sefirot that correspond to the Divine Chariot. The four souls are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Rachel (לֵחָרבֹקֲעַיקָחְצִיםָהָרְבַא). These are the four souls who appear in the Pentateuch. David was not yet present. So, in kingdom, we find two archetypal souls either the matriarch Rachel who is one hundred percent female, or King David, who is one hundred percent male.

An androgynous gender identification constitutes a blemish and weakens the sefirah of kingdom. Even in their male side, they do not fulfill the command of "on the eighth day, his foreskin shall be circumcised" to override Shabbat.
