Very interesting how this seems to be microscoped out of context.
Pshat in the Torah FROM:”Woman = Jewish”, “Man = Tribe”.
i.e. If a Man is a Levi then his sons are Leviim if the mother is Jewish. If a mother is Jewish and the Father is not the Child is still Jewish yet can not carry the Tribal line.
The reason these points fit here at least looking from a Chzeh B’Tshuva perspective is that well.. Its like your missing the point.
Women hold the power = Shabbat Candles, Chalah and Niddah.
Without a light burning the man has no becan at the table for Kiddush. Without Challah one has no Seder for Shabbat. Without Mikveh the couple has no union. Hashem gave the women powers that men dont have ; yet for some reason the “”covering or tsniut”" is being taken like a burden or lowing of status. Hashem tells us thru Chazal that a man of Humbleness is to be looked to for guidance and respect. (Look to the Chasid named REB ZUSHE the brother of the Maggid of Metzritch) How much more so does that shine on a women. The story of Esther, Ruth, Sarah HUMBLE HUMBLE HUMBLE… Giving Kavod to the men Thru the guidance of their husband. In Jewdeism the woman is called the home NOT THE MAN. And the women is in charge of the most influential years for guiding the children. WHY must women see or feel these roles with such ANTI that as you say, “find a NON-Jew to witness?” Very strange. Looking to the ideal philisophical world ok I get it But Torah Jews.. hmm. When talking about BEING JEWISH and refering to Torah and if speaking of the ever constant presence of Hashem in the world…. Different Translation is like sayin “Well it looks like the Pig chews the cud so eat it(Please no!) Yet for Thousands of years and sourcing the Torah it sais NOT to eat it. New versions of Jewdeism( Not refering to Garments, Siddur order or even beard and not beard(Sheitel, Tichel, Fall or hat) ) can be dangerous for the generations realy making an effort to connect with the source that Moshe brought us on Har Sinai. THIS IS NOT blind faith, we were there together, about 3,000,000 souls sharring in Hashems light. The Women chose not to build the calf just like the Leviim. Remember the Women Do connect, yet sometimes the identity of that connection can throw all of us off. Thank you for sharring.

A Gut Shabbus,

Yehoshua
