I see it's been some time since you've visited your old stomping grounds -- JTS is at the corner of B'way & 122nd St (not 121st).

I'm so glad you interviewed Gila Fine. Yes, she is a wonderful teacher, and so enlightening. I bought her book as soon as it came out.

That being said, I believe modern women who choose to bring children into the world would not view childbearing as the midrash did:

"Just as a female bears a burden and discharges it, bears a burden and discharges it, so Israel are enslaved and redeemed, enslaved and redeemed.”
