Bilhah and Zilpah
The Great Mothers of Israel

Though Bilhah and Zilpah each mothered two tribes of Israel, sources regarding them are scarce. Rabbi Wein culls together later commentaries of such giants as the Netziv, showing how the rivalry between Leah, Rochel, and their children carried over to maidservants and how their children comforted Yaakov in his years of separation from Yosef.
