## Resource

Pesach | Miriam's Vital Role in the Redemption, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Miriam is a somewhat difficult character to follow in the text; she is first presented anonymously, watching over her baby brother until he is safely brought back home to be nursed by their mother, then appears as the "prophetess, sister of Aharon" who intensifies the Song at the Sea - and then a seeming downfall at the incident of her slander of her brother and the attendant צרעת. But looking back at the nature of fraternal relations in Bereishit, we can discern a key role in her leadership as a sister to the political and spiritual leaders of the people and her role as both catalyst as well as beneficiary of fraternal loyalty - a role that helps this "first family of the nation" lead us from debased enslavement to noble sovereignty. This shiur was lovingly given in honor of the birth of our granddaughter, מרים תהילה, named for my mother, מרים בת יצחק ורבקה ז"ל, a true unifier and inspiration for all of her grandchildren.
