Whose Truth

Sometimes women with voices are shut out of the camp. But that’s not the end of the story.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg
Apr 8, 2024

"...Right, so only Miriam gets tzaraat...

And only she is punished.

Only she is maligned.

Only she is sent away.

The thing is this: The text never says that the Kushite wife thing that caused Miriam and Aaron to "speak against" Moses about wasn't true.

...Most of the women murdered as witches were, in some way, woman who didn't have the protection of a man with power...or those who were racial or religious others (Quakers in a Puritan community, eg).

...All of these things were part of the larger system of which the discrediting of female healers was a part.

We must always be attuned to questions like:

What narrative are we trying to advance, and whose interests does this serve?

Whose voices might be suppressed in the process?
