\u201cThen came forward daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher the son of Gilead the son of Machir the son of Menashe, from the family of Menashe the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.\u201d \u00a0(Numbers 27:1)<\/p>\n


\nTevye the Dairyman had beautiful and gifted daughters<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who brought him only heart-break.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who did they marry?<\/span><\/p>\n

A poor tailor, who died young and left Tzeitl penniless with three babies;<\/span>
\n<\/span> A revolutionary exiled to Siberia, accompanied by Hodel;<\/span>
\n<\/span> A Russian \u00a0lover, who brought Chava to the baptismal font;<\/span>
\n<\/span> A rich widow\u2019s only son, whose broken engagement led Schprintze to suicide;<\/span>
\n<\/span> And Beilke\u2019s fat, bald businessman with a loud voice and a sniggering laugh<\/span>
\n<\/span> Who later went bankrupt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was Zelophehad also a <\/span>s<\/span>hlimazel<\/span><\/em>, or did his daughters do any better?<\/span>
\n<\/span>Did any of them marry a prophet, or a <\/span>nazir<\/span><\/em>, or a scribe? <\/span><\/p>\n

Or was Zelophehad interested in finding a husband<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who would just appreciate Mahlah\u2019s love of learning,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Or give warmth and love to Noa?<\/span>
\n<\/span>Did he often wake up in the middle of the night<\/span>
\n<\/span>Worried about Hoglah\u2019s disappointments,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Sighing over Milcah\u2019s unrealistic dreams,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Depressed about Tirzah\u2019s fears?<\/span>
\n<\/span>When he met a neighbor\u2019s sons, did he speculate:<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2018This one would make a devoted husband for Milcah,<\/span>
\n<\/span>That one could find a common language with Tirzah\u2019?<\/span>
\n<\/span>Did he plan and hope and pray?<\/span>
\n<\/span>Did anxiety and solicitude finally break his heart? <\/span><\/p>\n

Let Shakespeare forget about Hamlet and Brutus,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Let Homer forget about Achilles and Odysseus;<\/span>
\n<\/span>The real hero is the father who manages to marry off his daughters<\/span>
\n<\/span>Well.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":103123,"id":103123,"title":"-62365451e8b8c--62365451e8b8egen31-father
