Redemption is intrinsically related to women. Kabala explains that the Sefira (Attribute) of Malchut ("sovereignty") reflects the feminine dimension. During exile, Malchut is in a state of descent and does not receive direct influence from the other Attributes. Conversely, in the Era of the Redemption, "a woman of valour [will be] the crown of her husband" (Proverbs 12:4). The higher source of Malchut will be revealed, the direct bond between Malchut and the other Attributes will be re-established, and Malchut will become a source of vital influence, renewing the totality of existence.
