“Along with all of the women who are in the tent you will be blessed.” (Shoftim 5:24)

These three words appear in the Song of the Prophetess Devorah where the prominent woman Yael is praised for risking her life to save the Jewish nation. It was Yael who served the wicked general Sisra the infamous glass of milk that led to his downfall and thwarted his plan. “MiNashim baOhel Tevorach” is a common expression used to emphasize the dedication, modesty and power inherent in every Jewish woman.
