SF - The Love of Yaacov and Rachel

The Love of Yaacov and Rachel

When Yaacov Avinu saw his wife-to-be, Rachel, for the first time, he began to cry. His sadness was awakened because he prophesied that she would not be buried next to him. Why was he so distraught over not being near his wife after they were no longer alive in this world? Our Patriarchs love for their wives was awakened by the spiritual beauty of their wives. In light of this, Yaacov cried upon realizing that ultimately he would be eternally separated from the radiant holiness of Rachel's soul.

Lesson: Yaacov's love for Rachel was ignited by the great spiritual goodness of her being. His love for Rachel spanned to eternity.  

App: Strive to see the inner beauty of your loved ones and friends. Love them for their holiness and goodness -- their true spiritual essence. [Based on the commentary of Rashi to Vayetzei]
