PARSHA QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
MIRIAM'S ROLE
In our Parsha we read about the deaths of Miriam (20:1) and Aaron (20:28).
With the death of Miriam, the miraculous well that had sustained the Jewish People for
forty years in the desert, dried up, demonstrating that it had existed because of Miriam
(see Rashi 20:2). With the death of Aaron, the protective clouds that had enveloped the
Jewish People disappeared, provoking the enemy to attack the Jewish People and dem-
onstrating that those clouds had existed because of Aaron (see Rashi 21:1). Likewise,
when Moshe died, the Manna stopped, indicating that it existed only because of Moshe.
Thus we have a picture of some kind of a triumvirate leading the Jewish People.
While we certainly see clearly the roles that Moshe - the supreme prophet - and Aaron -
the Kohein Gadol - played, what ongoing role did Miriam play in the leadership of the
people? While we find her leading the women in the Song at the Sea (Shemos 15:20),
and she refers to herself as a prophet (Bamidbar 12:2), she is otherwise absent in the
Torah's narrative. Indeed, while after the deaths of Moshe (Devarim 34:8) and Aaron
(Bamidbar 20:29) the Torah describes the period of mourning of the Jewish People, after
Miriam's death no such mention is made. What then is Miriam's role and why does it
remain so hidden?
HALACHA OF THE WEEK: A FEATURE OF THE BJSZ DAILY HALACHA SHIUR:
WHAT KIND OF CANDLES?
Shabbos candles may be lit with any kind of fuel and wick that hold a steady
flame, and that do not emit a pronounced fragrance. The primary concern here is that
there should be no need or temptation to fiddle with the candle while it is lit. The
Shulchan Aruch (OC 264:6) records that the ideal fuel for Shabbos candles is olive oil,
however many authorities (see MB 264:23 and others) have noted that our wax candles
and many other oils provide a very pleasant and steady flame and could be considered
ideal as well. When necessary one may use incandescent electric lights, however it is
important that it be apparent that the lights were lit specifically for the honor of Shab-
bos. As such our common custom is to light special Shabbos candles, relying on electric
lights only when truly necessary, such as in a hospital setting.
