Description: Jewish Midrash about the matriarch's compassion swaying even God.
The Matriarchs Rachel and Leah: Tears of the Jewish Mothers, Part 2 In our last class, we explored the inner meaning and greatness of Leah's tears. This week we look at Rachel's tears. To begin our inquiry into the unique impact of Rachel's tears on the Jewish people past, present and future, we turn to a Midrash from the beginning of the Book of Lamentations. The Midrash tells us that God sends the prophet Jeremiah to the Patriarchs, Avraham, Isaac and Jacob, and to Moshe - all of whom have left the world - to ask their participation in mourning and pleading for a better future for the Jewish people. Each advocates for Israel, attempting to appease God by asking Him to reciprocate for his past good deeds.
