Learning From ‘Mother’ Rachel

Throughout the centuries, following the Jewish people's exile from the land of our forefathers, when the name Rachel was evoked, the word "Imeinu"- our mother -was attached to it.

Many have risked their lives to visit her burial place, known as Kever Rachel, in Bethlehem.
