Although the Torah is relatively progressive in its attitude towards women as compared to the surrounding cultures of the time it describes (think Deborah the Judge), there aren’t many female characters in leading roles in the text. Yet here, the women who raised Moses are noted, and later in Moses’s genealogy, three women are described: Moses’s mother, Jochebed, Aaron’s wife, Elisheba, and Aaron’s daughter-in-law, whose name is not given. Why do you think these women in particular are included? What is their significance in Moses’ life? Get the answer in the new Israel Bible Reading Plan, with an exciting curriculum, personal attention, and question-answer forum.

Dear Rabbi, I was first sent your email during Shabbat for those who survived the Holocaust, I am now a subscriber and enjoy reading about my brothers and sisters in Israel and the beauty of the Holy Land.
