מִרְיָם קִבְּלָה תּוֹרָה מִסִּינַי וּמְסָרַתָּהּ לִבְנוֹת צְלָפְחָד וּבְנוֹת צְלָפְחָד לִדְבוֹרָה, וּדְבוֹרָה לְרוּת, וְרוּת מְסָרַתָּהּ לִבְרוּרְיָה הֵן אָמְרוּ שְׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים: הַשְׁמִיעוּ אֶת קוֹלְכֶן וְהַעֲמִידוּ תַּלְמִידוֹת הַרְבֵּה וַעֲשׂוּ דְּרָשׁ לַתּוֹרָה. |
Miriam received the Torah from Sinai and transmitted it to the Daughters of Zelopheḥad, and the Daughters of Zelopheḥad to Deborah, and Deborah to Ruth, and Ruth transmitted it to Beruriah. They said three things: Make your voice heard, raise up many disciples and interpret the Torah. |
This presentation of the lineage of the Mesorah, from Miriam the prophet to Beruriah the sage, parallels the well-known opening to the first chapter of Pirqei Avot (which only includes a patriarchal lineage). I hope there will be more maxims forthcoming. As my friend and teacher, Rabbi Yaakov Reef says: “Ethics of the Fathers is all well and good, but we won’t move forward until we study the Ethics of the Mothers.” –Aharon Varady
