from My Jewish Learning Today's Personalities: Welcome back to My Jewish Learning’s Personalities of the Bible series. So far, we have explored the lives of Abraham, the first Jew (and patriarch), and Rebecca, the second Jewish matriarch. We’ve explored their enormous strengths — deep capacities for love, faith, and independent action. And we’ve explored deep troubles in their family relationships, as well.
Of Jacob’s two wives, Rachel usually gets the most attention — she was the beautiful one whom he adored. Leah, her older sister, was not as beautiful and was not loved by their husband. But Leah has an incredible story all her own. Your next email in My Jewish Learning's Personalities of the Bible will arrive in a few days. Did someone forward this email to you?
