It seems to suggest something deeper about feminine strength.
On Tu B’Av, the women did not wait passively for relationship to happen.
They prepared.
And they spoke first:
“Young man, please lift up your eyes and see what you choose for yourself.”
That line is powerful.
The women helped the men practice curiosity.
They invited the men to look higher.
Not only at beauty.
Not only at attraction.
But at the deeper foundation of a home.
According to Kabbalah, redemption begins when the Jewish people, who represent the feminine side of creation, stop waiting only for open miracles and begin initiating relationship with The Creator.
That means receiving with trust.
Not passive receiving.
Active receiving.
Meditating on His greatness.
Expressing appreciation.
Becoming emotionally available.
Practicing awe, which is a blend sadness (because His goodness could always be more revealed), fear and wonder.
And then joy becomes possible.
Tu B’Av shows the repaired version of relationship:
The feminine opens the possibility with dignity.
The masculine learns to lift its eyes.
And relationship begins when curiosity, awe, trust, and joy meet.

Let me know if you have thoughts in this idea:
Gentile souls, the Noahide personality are channeling a masculine function: giving support toward the revelation of The Creator in the world.
Gentiles can express a giving, masculine role when they use their strength to support morality, justice, and the Jewish mission of revealing The Creator’s oneness in the world.
Visit this profile for hundreds of guides to healthy spirituality, based on interpretations of Chassidus and other Torah teachings.
According to the Alter Rebbe, many of the inner teachings of Torah (Hebrew Bible) like Chassidus, became hidden from the Jewish people during the generations of exile and persecution, especially around the 1500s and 1600s.
The Baal Shem Tov began revealing those teachings again in the early 1700s, making Chassidus accessible as a path of awe, trust, joy, and relationship with The Creator.
