Since the Torah is concise, and each word meaningful, we ask why the
seemingly unnecessary fact that Deborah the Judge sat "under the palm tree" is
recorded, and what is it meant to teach us? Deborah was the greatest person of
her generation, yet she concerned herself with being above suspicion, and never
secluded herself with another to avoid any hint of immodesty. She thus
established her court outside, under a palm tree. The female leader of the
entire nation of Israel taught a lesson for all time with her righteous,
above-board behavior. Learn modern-day lessons from women in the Bible with Root
