4. Iyov’s Daughters and the Call of Redemption

Rav Shlomo Katz, learning from Rav Uri Sherki, explores the crisis of leadership in transitional generations — from exile to redemption. Through the story of Iyov, we discover how suffering tzaddikim, unfit for a new era, must yield to a transformed model of guidance.

Why are only Iyov’s daughters remembered by name? Their inheritance, like that of the daughters of Tzelofchad, reveals that women carry a unique role at the threshold of geula: elevating national identity, anchoring Am Yisrael to its land, and rectifying ancient fractures from Creation itself.
