Rivka
The Great Mothers of Israel

Raised in a house of trickery while meriting to marry the holy Yitzchak, Rivka is the consummate baalas teshuva. Yet precisely because of her family background, she was able to spot Eisav’s faults long before her husband. With the insights of Chazal, Rabbi Wein paints a human portrait of our dynamic foremother who took responsibility for the good and bad in her sons as only a Jewish mother can.
