Description

Each year, tens of thousands of Jews from throughout Israel and all over the world come to Kever Rachel to seek Rachel Imenu's assistance in pleading their cases before God. Why is it that Rachel has attained such a unique place in the Jewish People’s collective consciousness? Why is she the matriarch who the prophet Jeremiah cites in connection with the Jewish People’s exile as they are forcibly removed from their land? Why is she alone among the matriarchs and patriarchs to succeed in pleading with God to restore the Jewish People to the Land of Israel? Join me for a lesson in teshuva, transformation and hope.
