What one US blogger has to say...

“Look,” asks an American blogger we follow, “Moses had a stutter and Aaron was busy having bells sewn on his robes, so who do you think really kept it together during the exodus from Egypt?”

“Miriam, that’s who.”

She continues that Miriam “was clever enough to reunite Moses with his mother to nurse after the pharoah’s daughter pulled him out of the bulrushes. She was a prophetess whose faith that God would deliver the Jews across the sea was so strong she thought to pack tambourines to celebrate once they were safely on the other side.

“And while everyone was wandering around parched in the desert, she always knew where the water was.”

The blogger concludes: Isn’t it about time paying honor to her became part of everyone’s Seder?
