Bzchus nashim tzidkaniyos
Question
Hi!
As a Bais Yaacov graduate we were taught many times the following Chazal: Bzchus nashim tzidkaniyos nigalu avosenu mimitzrayim uvzchus nashim tzidkaniyos asidin lihigael. In the merit of righteous women our ancestors were redeemed from Egypt and in the merit of righteous women we will be redeemed in the future.
I recently asked 3 learned Rabbis for the source of this chazal and none of them had heard of the 2cnd part of the quote.
Can you please tell me where the source of this chazal is?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
The source for this teaching is Yalkut Shimoni, Tehillim, 68. There is a similar teaching in Sotah 11a.
