Their “excuse” - The Jewish women <br />give birth early &amp; naturally, without needing midwives. They utilize Pharoah’s fear <br />of the Jews that reproduce so greatly as animals, to excuse themselves. They <br />“feared G-d” (his moral law) more than the feared the almighty ruler - Pharoah!<br />● The daughter of Levi (later introduced as Yocheved) married and conceived <br />even though Pharoah decreed death on all male newborns - bravely defied his <br />decree!<br />● Daughter of Levi hides her son for three months &amp; when can’t hide him any <br />longer, she puts him in the “teva” in the Nile, hoping he will somehow be saved. <br />If asked where her babe is she would reply, I threw him in the Nile as per <br />Pharoah’s decree!<br />● Babe’s sister watches over him in the Nile to try to protect him. Ultimately gets <br />him back to his Jewish mother to wetnurse him for Pharoah’s daughter.<br />● Pharoah’s daughter defies her father’s decree &amp; adopts the Jewish abandoned <br />babe. Gives him to Jewish wetnurse for some years &amp; then takes him back &amp; <br />names him MOSES (in Egyptian = “son”). Raises him as her son in the Royal <br />Palace. Moses is reborn from the Nile to his second Mother, Pharoah’s daughter. <br />Raised in royalty - maybe necessary in order to be able to lead his people ought <br />of Egypt. Even though raised in Palace, apparently Pharoah’s daughter does not <br />hide his Jewish identity from him!<br />● Tzipora saves Moses’ live by circumcising their son on the way back to Egypt. <br />allowing Moses to get back to lead The Jews out of Egypt.<br />● Many Midrashim develop these points! <br />● Reuven Werber - Kfar Etzion</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Based on talk by Dr. Gili Zivan", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": { "title": "Women's Seder", "slug": "womens-seder-1", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Exodus Story", "slug": "exodus-story" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 223, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The role of women in The Redemption from Egypt | Passover haggadah by Reuven Werber", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
