Pinchas 5786: Voices That Change Us
About this episode
The episode discusses how tradition can evolve while remaining true to its core values, using the story of the Daughters of Tzelofchad as a case study.
How can a tradition stay true to its values while continuing to grow? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Leon Morris explore the story of the Daughters of Tzelofchad in Parshat Pinchas and what it teaches about change within tradition. By courageously bringing their case before Moses, these five women help expand the Torah’s laws of inheritance without rejecting the system itself. Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, the conversation reflects on how societies grow through thoughtful interpretation, principled debate, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.
