Since today is Rosh Chodesh Elul, I’ve been thinking about the many great women that have shaped Jewish culture and tradition. I was curious, who do you look up to?
For me, I’ve been looking up to Leah. She endured a loveless marriage, but she was so optimistic that it inspires me at how she made the best out of her situation. A part of me even kind of admires her guile to marry Jacob, even though it’s not a great quality it does show her cleverness.
I also look up to Rachel, as a beautiful story of true love. Her kindness towards her sister is remarkable, particularly in how she taught her sister the signs to make so Jacob wouldn’t know they had switched, just so her sister wouldn’t be humiliated.
