Historic Inheritance

In an unlikely twist of events, a group of five determined sisters changed the laws of Jewish inheritance forever.

Their late father, Tzlafchad, passed away before receiving a portion in the Land of Israel, and the land-loving daughters were fearful that they would end up without inheriting property in the Holy Land. The case made its way to the Heavenly Court, where the Chief Justice, a.k.a. HaShem, a.k.a. Supreme Owner of the World, ruled that they would indeed receive their father’s inheritance.

“We all love Eretz Yisrael so much, and are extremely pleased by the decision,” said Tirtzah, one of the five named plaintiffs in the case. “We are so grateful that HaShem ruled in our favor. Abba would have been so proud (sniff).”
