Thanking Sara for this inspirational piece!
"Tonight/tomorrow yud alef Cheshvan is the yartzeit of "crying" Mama Rachel ...A very powerful time for us to daven ‼️ 🕯️‼️ Tzeddaka ‼️
Rachel Imeinu is still crying WHY? because of US,we JEWS her children, are not crying! She is trying to get us to cry out of the pain of galut because we seem to forget where we are. Hashem puts us through so much pain and suffering in galut (exile) and our job is to cry out to Him and BEG Him to take us out! But instead, we try to ignore the pain we are in and try to run away from the pain using all sorts of escapes and distractions. We forget that we are in galut by making ourselves to comfortable here.
Mama Rachel is trying to get us to cry, to feel uncomfortable in galut! If we don’t feel like we are in galut and we don’t cry out to Hashem, then why should He take us out altogether?! If we are fine where we are be it moanin & groaning then why should anything change?! The only way to get out is by asking for it! And if Hashem sees we really want to come out, by doing His ratzon , He will take us out! We need this NOW more than ever. Look 👁️around the 🌏!
When we come out of this galut life will be so beautiful! We will live with total clarity and understanding of Hashem and His world and our job in it! We will feel what Torah means and realize how much we were missing out on beforehand!!
So daven your hearts out or use your own words....just talk.., friends to BEG Hashem for rachamim (mercy) to bring us out of galut! We need to end our exile, this bitter galut has been way too long.
And then Hashem will tell Rachel Imeinu, “Minee koleich m’bechee v’einayich midim’ah,” Rachel, you can stop crying, because “v’shavu banim ligevulam,” Bnei Yisroel will return to their boundaries!
May we all have the zechut to see these very words come true be'H & our Mama Rachel cry no more !"
