Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here. I hope this is the correct forum but please let me know if not.
I've been saying (I don't sing!) the Eshet Chaiyl to my wife in our Shabbat evening services for the last 45-odd years, but I really have problems with the translation, and in general the meaning of this poem - It's really not appropriate to our lives in this age.
Can anyone suggest an alternative poem that I could read to her that's more in keeping with a wife as an equal partner.
Failing that I may have to make one up, and nobody would want to hear that
Thanks
