Reversing Tisha B’Av: How To Actually Rid Ourselves Of Sinat Chinam
Rabbi Fohrman revisits the Midrash about the signs Rachel gave Leah on her wedding day, showing how the story is actually based on the words in Jeremiah. Through her actions, Rachel tried to rewrite history and forge a new future for herself, Leah, and Jacob. It is through these actions that Rachel merited reward centuries later.
