Moral Courage In the Heart of Darkness - By Rabbi YY Jacobson
Description
How One Woman, the Daughter of a Tyrant, Changed History For Source Sheets: https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/161 "She is one of the most unexpected heroes of the Torah. Without her, Moses might not have lived. The whole story of civilization would have been different. Yet she was not an Israelite. She had nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by her courage. Yet she seems to have had no doubt, experienced no misgivings. If it was Pharaoh who afflicted the children of Israel, it was another member of his own family who saved the decisive vestige of hope: Pharaoh's daughter." "Who was this person? Why did she go bathe in the Nile River? What is the symbolism of her extended arm? How did she know the infant was Jewish? Whom did she end up marrying? A reflection on a single act, performed in a single moment, by a single individual, which transformed history."
