Seven Minute Torah

Families Come in All Shapes and Sizes (Vayetze)

Listen Later

This week we explore the emotional lives of Rachel and Sara and how they cope with family and societal expectations. Reading a modern Midrash from Hagit Bartov, we explore her suggestion about "opening up" our picture of what family and identity "should" look like.
