The daughters of Tselofhad famously protest their loss of their father's real estate in the promised land due to being excluded from inheritance because they are women. They bring their complaint to Moses who brings it directly to God and God comes out in favour of the women. This parasha is often read during the 3 weeks between 17 Tamuz and 9 Ab. We explore the role of women in the issues that created these fast days as well as in the story of the sisters Tselofhad.
