Can Women Play Musical Instruments Well Or Are They Gender Handicapped?


Typing requires fine motor control. Ex. typing court documents.  Sometimes there has been more male secretaries, while at different times more women have done it.  


Needlework, another fine motor talent, as in making homemade clothes seems to be something that women do better.


Playing instruments requires fine motor movement ~ so why now do so few women take to it in comparison to male artists.  There is probably 1,000 male artists for every female artist.  What gives!!?  I bet that this fact is nothing but motivation that is holding women back.

Motor skills

“Others in the scientific (and sometimes pseudo-scientific) fields seem to believe that women tend to have naturally better sensory-motor coordination than men.A new study showed that young women have better visual-sensory motor skill coordination than their male counterparts, an argument many times confirmed. It is believed that women excel in fine motor skills while men are better at motor skills that necessitate more strength rather than accuracy.” http://www.spreeder.com/are-women-better-typists-than-men/

A Dream: Jews and non-Jews Studying Together in Peace

There is so much Torah to study without ever converting.  The way I see it is that I don’t have to be a Jew to study or contribute.  Why not opt in to observe mitzvos, even mitzvos I am not required observe as a son of Noah?  My personal feeling is that if deeds are healthy for Jews, then they are probably healthy for me.  I have studied Chumash, Daily Halachah, Psalms, and Tanya, with plans for others at chabad.org for several years now.  I have no need to convert to be blessed by Jews.  I hope that this generation will find ways to make peace with other nations of the world - count me in for that one!  Jews studying side by side with non-Jews in study halls has the potential to heal hate.
