This Mishnah is not only about dating (listed at the end).
It seems to suggest something deeper about feminine strength.
Why Did the Women Speak First?
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.
What Were the Men Invited to See?
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.
How Does Kabbalah Connect This to Redemption?
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 humility, fear and wonder, awe becomes felt more deeply through meditation.
And then joy and love become possible if you trust He is good, there can be sadness contained in that intimacy because His goodness can be more revealed.
What Does a Repaired Relationship Look Like?
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.

What Role Do Gentile Souls Have?
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.

How Did Chassidus Become Hidden and Revealed Again?
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.
