Guidance A Wife is a Protective Wall

Living Moshiach | December 10, 2025

The Gemara says that a man without a wife does not have Torah and does not have a protective wall. The four wives of our forefather Ya’akov, whose names form the acronym “Barzel”-iron, are an iron wall of holiness, through which we transform the “wall of iron” in the prophecy about the siege on the wall of Jerusalem.
