Exploring the Matriarchs: Rachel, Leah, Bilhah and Zilpah

Hosted By: My Jewish Learning

In this 3-session series with My Jewish Learning, gain a better understanding of the biblical foremothers. Rabbi Lauren Tuchman dives into the narratives of Genesis to examine character, motivation, and circumstance. In addition to the more familiar Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, you’ll learn about the lesser-known mothers, Bilhah and Zilpah.

In Class 3, Rabbi Tuchman taught about Rachel, Leah, Bilhah and Zilpah. Watch the recording of this session here:
