While the structure of Judaism based on the dual Torah is clearly masculine in orientation, the substructure - the religious system that shapes its values and perceptions - is androgynous, an individual conjunction of genders. In fact, the higher values, as defined by the relevant writings, prove to be feminine.NOTES: Purchased at Half Price Books. SUBTITLE: Masculine and Feminine in the Dual Torah
