Judaism tends to view G-d as male, but in fact G-d is of course neither male or female. In fact, the feminine form is often used where the use of G-d is passive. For example: Modim anachnu lach ... (we bow down to thee) - this phrase begins a paragraph which occurs in the thrice-daily Amidah prayer. "lach" is "to you [fem.]". The masculine would be "l'chah".
