The decree of the wicked Pharoah may or may not have been fulfilled, but you who are righteous, your decree surely is realized.\" The father heeded his daughter (Miriam). So we too follow in her steps with drums and dancing, spreading her prophecy amongst the nations</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Wise of Heart: </strong>According to the <em><a href=\"http://www.ritualwell.org/glossary/4/letterm#term276\">Midrash</a></em>, young Miriam persuaded her father Amram and the other enslaved men of Israel not to separate from their wives despite Pharoah's decree to destroy all male newborns. When her mother Yocheved gave birth to a boy, the two worked together to save the new son/brother. Miriam recognized the historical significance of this nascent struggle, as she did at the splitting of the Red Sea, and thus led her people to redemption ( <em><a href=\"http://www.ritualwell.org/glossary/4/lettert#term363\">Talmud</a> Bavli, Sotah 12</em> ).</p>\n\n<p><strong><strong>The rebellious daughter</strong>, what does she say? \"Recognize\" the ways of enslavement and the tyranny of man's rule over man. Although she rebels against authority it is said: She was more righteous than he, and we enjoy no freedom until we have left our unjust ways.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Rebellious: </strong>Tamar's complex relationship with her father-in-law, Judah, son of <a href=\"http://www.ritualwell.org/glossary/4/letterj#term235\">Jacob </a>our forefather, expresses a rebellion whose result was critical to the continuation of the tribe of Judah and the Jewish people. With her deeds, Tamar barricaded herself against her loss of freedom as an imprisoned widow. She eventually achieves the <em>yibum </em> (levirate marriage) to which she is entitled, and becomes the \"founding mother\" of the Davidic dynasty, symbol of messianic redemption (Tamar, Gen. 38:26).</p>\n\n<p><strong><strong>The simple and pure daughter</strong>, what does she say? \"Wherever you go, so shall I go, and where you rest your head so there will I rest mine. Your people are mine, and your God my God\" (Ruth,1:16). We shall indeed fortify her in her loyalty to those she loved, and it was said to her: \"May God make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the House of Israel.\"</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Simple and Pure: </strong>Ruth the Moabitess remained true to her mother-in-law Naomi, and her ingenious loyalty is absolute. This wonderful emotional closeness that Ruth so adamantly demonstrates rescues both of them from poverty and internal bondage (Ruth 4:11).</p>\n\n<p><strong>And the daughter who cannot ask</strong>–<strong> only her silent weeping is heard, as it is written, \"and she wept for her father and mother.\" We will be her mouthpiece and she will be for us a judge. We will return her to her mother's house and to her who conceived her, and we will proclaim \"liberty in the land for all its inhabitants.\"</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The One Who Cannot Ask: </strong>This last of the four daughters lacks sufficient freedom to taste even slightly the redemption and thus remains weeping in utter slavery. Although the 'beautiful captive' from war is allowed to grieve for her parents before she is taken (Deut. 21:13), she is a reminder of the reality of silenced bondage, which continues to exist in our midst in various ways. The silent weeping that erupts from this dark reality is a call to action for the cause of freedom and liberty of every person (Lev. 25:10), born in the image of God, in order to live securely in their homes, among their people and loving family (Songs 3:4).</p>\n\n<p>Each of the Four Daughters expresses a unique path from bondage to freedom in a national and human sense. They learn from examining their parents' lives and from the struggle of their nation, while their parents themselves are exposed to new spiritual layers as a result of their daughter's education.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Rabbi Einat Ramon from Ritualwell.org", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 214, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Four Daughters | Passover haggadah by Joseph Slifka Center", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The stories we tell our children shape what they believe to be possible—which is why at Passover, we must tell the stories of the women who played a crucial role in the Exodus narrative.</p>\n\n<p>The Book of Exodus, much like the Book of Genesis, opens in pervasive darkness. Genesis describes the earth as “unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep.”1 In Exodus, darkness attends the accession of a new Pharaoh who feared the Israelites and so enslaved them. God alone lights the way out of the darkness in Genesis. But in Exodus, God has many partners, first among them, five brave women.</p>\n\n<p>There is Yocheved, Moses’ mother, and Shifra and Puah, the famous midwives. Each defies Pharaoh’s decree to kill the Israelite baby boys. And there is Miriam, Moses’ sister, about whom the following midrash is taught:</p>\n\n<p>[When Miriam’s only brother was Aaron] she prophesied… “my mother is destined to bear a son who will save Israel.” When [Moses] was born the whole house… filled with light[.] [Miriam’s] father arose and kissed her on the head, saying, “My daughter, your prophecy has been fulfilled.” But when they threw [Moses] into the river her father tapped her on the head saying, “Daughter, where is your prophecy?” So it is written, “And [Miriam] stood afar off to know what would be[come of] the latter part of her prophecy.”2</p>\n\n<p>Finally, there is Pharaoh’s daughter Batya, who defies her own father and plucks baby Moses out of the Nile. The Midrash reminds us that Batya knew exactly what she doing:</p>\n\n<p>When Pharaoh’s daughter’s handmaidens saw that she intended to rescue Moses, they attempted to dissuade her, and persuade her to heed her father. They said to her: “Our mistress, it is the way of the world that when a king issues a decree, it is not heeded by the entire world, but his children and the members of his household do observe it, and you wish to transgress your father’s decree?”3</p>\n\n<p>But transgress she did.</p>\n\n<p>These women had a vision leading out of the darkness shrouding their world. They were women of action, prepared to defy authority to make their vision a reality bathed in the light of the day.</p>\n\n<p>Retelling the heroic stories of Yocheved, Shifra, Puah, Miriam and Batya reminds our daughters that with vision and the courage to act, they can carry forward the tradition those intrepid women launched.</p>\n\n<p>While there is much light in today’s world, there remains in our universe disheartening darkness, inhumanity spawned by ignorance and hate. We see horrific examples in the Middle East, parts of Africa, and the Ukraine. The Passover story recalls to all of us—women and men—that with vision and action we can join hands with others of like mind, kindling lights along paths leading out of the terrifying darkness.</p>\n\n<p>1 Genesis 1:2 2 Babylonian Talmud, Megillah 14a 3 Babylonian Talmud, Sotah 12b</p>\n\n<p>Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
