Reblogged from the blog of Rabbi Stephen Fuchs. Thank you, Rabbi Fuchs, for the insight that the Sages included so many midrashim on Miriam because they recognized that she was shortchanged in the text!
Thank you, Rabbi Adar, for reflagging this essay. I feel honored because Coffee Shop Rabbi is a consistent source of wisdom and inspiration!
