The 11th of Cheshvan, the day of passing of our matriarch Rachel, is truly the Jewish Mother's Day...

That was really beautiful--insightful, and beautiful. As this month is also pegged for Jewish Social Action, this article only reaffirms such regards. The idea of sparks drawn out of the enemy's grasp to be redeemed and simultaneously causing evil's demise--this is wonderful. May we all take heed, and make Rachel shine through each one of us!
Thanks for sharing!

Please know that an official "Jewish Mother's Day" was inaugurated by Rachel's Children Reclamation Foundation 11 MarCheshvan 2000 after Evelyn Solomon Haies met with the office of the Borough President of Brooklyn in 1999. Rachel's Children Reclamation Foundation was presented with a large Proclamation and this day was inaugurated and also proclaimed by other officials at the request of Evelyn Haies, President RCRF and the major owner of the only Jewish owned property within the Rachel Tomb Walled Complex. Evelyn has had many rabbis lecture on this theme each year and has classes in Rachel's Tomb, the RCRF majority owned property within the wall. Evelyn presented Rachel Imeinu (Rachel our mother) as the Jewish Mother par excellence representing the qualities of empathy, sympathy, love, family, strength, activism, a mother fighting for her children as well as being an example of the "good ideology". Reclaiming our mother Rachel reclaims the borders of proper Torah living, tradition, family linking and Israel, the holy land.

Attraction to true beauty works.
I have escaped the worst situations with it, but it has to be attraction from the inner heart.
True beauty, for me, has always been that experience which shows that all things are one, and all things are good, and all things love you, and then you respond to all things with the same love...and that is HaShem.

Reading this article is so inspiring! Thank You! Thank G-d I had the merit to pray last night at Kever Rachel, Rachel's Tomb. How blessed I am to merit living in the Holy Land of Israel!
May HaShem bless us all in the merit of Rachel Imeinu and send us Machiach Now!
