Rachel - the ancestral mother of Israel - breathes again in this rich and perceptive reading by Samuel Dresner. Her tale of love, courage, tragedy, and perseverance has made her one of the most beloved figures in Jewish history. Pondered, revered, and embellished for centuries, her story is recounted through Dresner's analysis of the narrative in the Book of Genesis, the venerable traditions of the Talmud and Midrash, and the insights of subsequent generations of Jewish and Christian poets, philosophers, mystics, and artists.
