Rachel imeinu yahrzeit

On the 11th of Cheshvan, our matriarch, Rachel, passed away and was buried on the way to Efrata, which is Bethlehem.

“So says the Lord: A voice is heard on high, lamentation, bitter weeping- Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children for they are absent. So says the Lord: Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for there is reward for your work, says the Lord, and they shall come back from the land of the enemy. And there is hope for your future, says the Lord, and the children shall return to their own border.” (Jeremiah 31:14-16)
