To keep this simple...Hebrew has 4 words for every one of ours. In Hebrew we have "masculine singular" "masculine plural" "feminine singular" and "feminine plural". Shechina is feminine singular. But it in no way means that heaven has a feminine nature. It's not that much different in English. When we talk about a boat, we call it a "her" or "she".
G-d is consistently referred to in Scripture in the Masculine or masculine plural form. Thos who try to propagate the idea that G-d or His kingdom are anything different are feminists trying to usurp male authority and dominance.
As far as the Kabala is concerned... it is witchcraft. It is Jewish mysticism full of contradictions to Scripture.
Shalom in Him,
Rabbi Stanley
