Ok, this is why women sit at the BACK of the synagogue.
Eve had been deceived. ADAM...did the big sins. For instance, he did not TEACH eve the importance of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Also, he chose to LIE to G-d instead of repent. G-d was looking for the first ever repentance of sin...but Adam said "that woman did it!"
So, women sit at the back because the men need the real repenting. The women's hearts are much more ready for G-d at any given time. Also in Judaism, men are given much more rules to keep them in line (wearing of tzitzit, kippah, being the preist of the home, Shabbat rules, etc)
Because men need them. G-d knows women do not need as many things to stay in line. Also, men's wandering eyes are better off with the women in the back.
See, sometimes what we see as "discrimination" is really just a big misunderstanding.
So many people say "oh....the poor women...not allowed up front"
Blessings and Shalom
David

...but that doesn't make any sense...because women DON'T sit at the back of the synagogue....
In many synagogues, the women's sections and the men's sections are right next to each other, separated by a curtain. Women not having as many mitzvot doesn't have much to do with Adam and Eve, since in most streams Judaism, it's treated as a metaphor for how G-d created the world. Women have all the mitzvot men have but not the ones dictated by time--for example they don't have to pray three times a day because they have other things they need to do. Also in Judaism, there is really no such thing as a "priest of the home," so I'm not sure where you get that....the heart of Judaism is the home, and the heart of the home is the mother. Women and men are kept separate for BOTH to remain fixated on G-d, not just men.
How many years have you been studying?
Shalom

Mary M - back attempting to hearth up hate a Jews are you? women have been taken care of greater the two & particularly in Judaism for hundreds of years than interior the cultures around them. women & men have diverse roles, yet no longer inferior ones. maximum Orthodox syaguoages at this factor use a diivider & the two are next to a minimum of one yet another. In older ones the place the older construction does no longer accomodate it to boot, the older style balcony already there continues for use. besides the shown fact that, it purely ability women with young infants are much less uncomfortable approximately each and all the activity there. In Judaism men are required to choose greater, yet women are anticipated to be those passing on the religion to the youngsters -- subsequently the birthright is throughout the time of the mummy. it rather is no longer lesser. attempt going to a synagogue & getting a experience. Rosa Parks became forced into much less convenience & subservence. it rather is no longer the case right here. Ask any Jewish husband who's in fee -- it is not him.

For the record, that is not a Christian teaching. The reason why women are not allowed to preach in the church is precisely BECAUSE Eve was deceived AND NOT ADAM.
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

That's a cop out. Judaism has always considered women as second rate, even as Muslims and some Christians do.

Ever wonder " Birds of the same feather flocks together" so they can gossip without those at the front listening.

I will definitely have to ask a female friend of mine who is Jewish (or, I should say, comes from a Jewish background) about this...
but since you already answered your own question.. well.. all I can say is.. hope your atonement went okay.
