		<description><![CDATA[As the Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur approach, I thought I&#8217;d put up a few new videos on Youtube of some of my favourite High Holiday songs. Reaction to my recording and arrangement of the Moroccan Kol Nidrei was so encouraging last year, I thought I&#8217;d contribute a few more this year as well.

		<description><![CDATA[It was such a shame that I could not attend this year&#8217;s North American Jewish Choral Festival. I hear it went amazingly well, as always.
This year was particularly special as the wonderful and talented Ottawa choir, Musica Ebraica, made an appearance at the festival and sang a Sim Shalom of mine. The choir got to [...]]]></description>

The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.” They make their case to Moses. Their father had no sons and they think they should gain his inheritance. Remember, the rule at the time was that the inheritance should go to the eldest son.

 

So what does Moses decide?

 

Nothing. He goes to God to find the answer. And God tells Moses (v. 7), “The daughters of Zelophehad are right.” Women are right? The highest spiritual authority in the universe, the Creator, God, sides with women? Even in this day and age, there are societies that would not accord such open-mindedness to women.
