Dirshuni II
Tanot - see Rivka Lubitz, "Midrashei Bat Yiftach", in Nechama Weingarten-Mintz and Tamar Biala (editors) Dirshuni: Midrashei Nashim I , Tel Aviv 2009, p100. Tanot is a fictional image, the soul of Yiftach's daughter, who is exponded from the verse "the daughters of Israel went every year to lament ["letanot", to Tanot] the daughter of Yiftach the Gileadite" (Shoftim 11:40). Her character serves as an intermediary between Jewish women and the Shechina: 'And what does she do? She sits in the heights, and hears the stories of Jewish women in the land, and after this she sits with the Shechina and tells ("metanah") in Her ears their troubles, and prays for them and learns merit about them'. "I never intended this" - see Taanit 4a, "Which I did not command and I did not say and I did not intend" (Yirmiyahu 19:5) - "Which I did not intend - this is Yitzchak son of Avraham".
