Rabbi Yosef Berman: Speaking Truth to Power in the Torah
In the weekly Torah (Jewish Bible) reading this week is a story about five women who speak truth to power demanding their rightful inheritance and a change to patriarchal laws. The rabbis see righteousness in their demands. While human beings are plagued with bias and division, the rabbis also find in this story a G!d who loves and cares for all people, transcending human oppressions. What can we learn from this episode and the Jewish tradition about speaking truth to power, liberatory Jewish theology, and leading with humility?
