Question
How should one relate to menstrual blood? Is it a punishment for Eve's sin? How are we supposed to feel about it?
Answer
Greetings and good tidings
Indeed, menstrual blood is one of the curses that Chava received as a result of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge.
You did not explain the question regarding the attitude towards this matter. However, I understand that there are women who see it as guilt or shame, and so on.
In practice, although it is a punishment, the attitude towards it should be with a general view and not a personal one. I will try to explain my intention.
Due to the sin, the entire world became imperfect, and part of the correction is that things come with effort and not easily.
Since the sin was 'and you will be like God', meaning the desire to be masters of ourselves. The correction is through the fact that the entire course of life depends on God, and this brings a person back to closeness with God.
For example, man was cursed, 'by the sweat of your brow you will eat bread'. Instead of receiving sustenance from ministering angels, he is forced to do it himself and put in a lot of effort. And to feel dependent on God in all matters of sustenance. This is not guilt or shame, this is the reality of the world after it was damaged.
In the same definition are the pains of menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth, and more. A woman encounters difficulties throughout her life, and this is supposed to bring her to feel dependent on God at every stage of her life.
