Jacob Part 12: Rakhel's Scheme to Build a Family

What happens when human desperation meets Divine compassion? In this lesson, we dive into the "center of the center" of the Jacob story—a messy, heart-wrenching, and fascinating narrative of two sisters caught in a cycle of rivalry, barrenness, and the quest for vindication.

We explore Genesis 29:31–30:24, tracking the birth of the sons of Israel. From Leah’s deep longing to be "seen" to Rachel’s frantic schemes to "build a family," we see a replaying of the failures of Eden and the earlier mistakes of Sarah and Abraham.
