This shiur focuses on interpreting the phrase "עֵזֶר כְּנֶגְדּוֹ" concerning the creation of woman. Several commentators present the paradoxical nature of the phrase, suggesting the woman is either "a helper" if man is worthy or "against him" if he is not, or that the "opposition" itself serves as the truest form of aid. Other interpretations explore the roots of the word "כְּנֶגְדּוֹ" (kenegdo), connecting it to concepts of proximity, equality, or counterbalance rather than simple opposition.
