Description

Where does the inner silent scream come from? Tzaddikim can inspire the lowest of the low and the most exalted of Israel. The tzaddik can reach the lowest by showing that Hashem is embedded even where they are. When a Jew is far from Hashem and has fallen into disgusting aveiras, they are "Rachel crying over her children".The Children of Rachel inside us are the mitzvahs we could be doing. We are waiting for the building of the Third Holy Temple which is the "house" of Yaakov. At night, at end of the month, in the winter is Yaakov Aveinu who tells us we can daven even in the darkest of times and reach the highest levels. The marriage of Rachel and Yaakov is to elevate ourselves.
