"I will be back soon" !

B"H

The grave of Rachel Imenu (Yaakov's wife).
You can enlarge the picture by clicking on it. The sticker on it (just a sercastic joke appearing on the computer) was "written by Rachel".

"I will be back soon !"
Rachel.






Rachel's grave near Bethlehem (Beit Lechem)


Not too many Ashkenazic Haredim go for the "Rachel Imenu War Story". They themselves say that this is more for the Sepharadim, as they believe in all kinds of miracles.

It is said that during the last Gaza War, a group of Israeli soldiers wanted to enter a house in Gaza, as a woman, dressed in white, appeared and warned them not to go inside. The Hamas had set up a trap.

The soldiers went to the next house and, miraculously, the same woman appeared. Again, she warned them and the soldiers finally asked for her name: "Rachel Imenu - Your mother Rachel", she responded.

True or not true ? Who knows ?
However, the photomontage is funny !
