Most of us are familiar
with Bruriah wife of R.Mier. She was a great Talmida Chacham.*1
There were many more,
some not as famous as Bruriah.
1)
The daughter of R.
Shmuel Halevi (Gaonim) was a bokie in Gemoro and she taught
bachurim.
2)
The wife of the
Rokeach. She was killed with her children . The Rokeach
wrote a Kinah for her.
3) Shut Maharshal (29) writes, his grandmother Miriam had a yeshiva
and said Halacha
for
outstanding bachurim from behind the
curtain.
4) Hakdamah Drisha
(yo”d 2) writes ,about the
greatness of his mother Beila.
She learned
Chumash/Rashi and meforshim ,mechadesh chidushim, Knew hilchos
Nidah almost
like Moire Hoiro’oh etc. He also brings two halachos from his mother
5) Hakdamah in the Chavas Yair writes ,his grandmother
Chava *2
knew more
Torah ,than many Roshei Yeshivos.
6) Sister of R. Yeshaya Berlin (Pik)
The Tosfos Brocho *3 Parshas Vayishlach
writes, Ms. Berlin (sister of R. Y.
Berlin)
was known to be a very learned woman and quotes a vort from her
IM LAVAN GARTI
Rashi writes that Yackov
said Aba hivtichani hevei g’vir
l’ochicho v’lo niskaymo vi.
Our father has promised me
that You will be a gvir to your brother and it wasn’t
fulfilled , vi (in me)
Ms. Berlin said that the word GVIR is made up of two words.
a) ger( gimmel reish)
b)
vi (veis yud)
If you remove the veis and the yud from gvir you will be left with
ger
Yackov told Esauv that
Yitzchock promised that I will
become a gvir but lo
niskaymah
Vi The vi of gvir was left out.,
hence I am only a ger Im Lavan Garti
and there is no
reason to be jealous.
*1 Pesachim 62b learned 300 halachos in
one day
*2 The Shla Hakodesh wanted to marry
her in zivug 2
She refused him. The Shiah said on
himself " I wasn't
zoche to marry such a holy woman".
*3 R. Boruch Epstien (Torah Temima)
