Description

The story of Rochel and Leah is vexing and troubling. Why must Rochel suffer so, with her role as primary wife usurped by Leah? This shiur reveals the deeper cosmic meaning of the Rochel-Leah struggle, and how their differing personas fuse to conceive an ever-richer Jewish nation. We discover how multiple dualities in the Jewish experience can be traced back to these two mothers: golus-geulah, tzadik-ba'l teshuvah, etc.
