Page 1 of trying to fill up a Jewish sketchbook

This one is for Parshat Pinchas and focuses on the Daughters of Tzelofchad, who challenged Moshe and demanded the right to inherit land in their father’s name (spoiler alert: they got it).

I depicted each sister based on the possible meaning of her name:

Machla – maybe related to illness (machala), but I gave her a healing olive branch to represent strength and recovery

Noa – from tnua (movement), shown billowing in the wind, always moving forward

Chogla – her name is connected to the partridge, a desert bird known for awareness and protection (got that one from Jastrow)

Milka – from the root melech (king), shown with scrolls, calm and composed

Tirtza – the name of a walled city in Efraim (Yehoshua 12:24)

Thanks! Open to suggestions ☺️
