Daughters of the Revelation

By
Rabbi David Kasher

Shabbat Pinhas Sermon.

Five sisters approach Moses seeking to challenge a law given by God. But isn’t that impossible? The laws of the Torah are perfect, absolute, and unchanging! Nevertheless, Moses brings their case before God… and God immediately affirms the merit of their claim and changes the law! What is going on here? Were these women really able to “amend” the will of God?! Our search for answers will bring us to a deeper understanding of the nature of this Torah, and of revelation itself.
