Lecture Series: Zipporah: The Leader Who Almost Was
Shelly Eshkoli — November 16, 2026
Zipporah, Moses’ wife and the daughter of the Midianite priest, is mentioned in the Torah as a secondary figure with an element of mystery, and has therefore captivated interpreters and scholars.
Who was she? What leadership test did she pass? And what would the 40 years in the wilderness have looked like if she had joined Moses and led the people alongside him?
Shelly Eshkoli, a researcher of Hebrew womanhood in the ancient world, will present the familiar story from a new, fascinating, and unconventional perspective—through Zipporah’s voice.
