When Yaakov arrives in Haran he finds a group of shepherds at the well. They give him the impression that removing the stone from the well to access the water is a serious process that requires multiple people. Much to our surprise, Yaakov then seems to easily remove the stone himself to water Rachel's flock. In this week's episode we discuss rabbinic interpretations of this scene and what it teaches us about finding our own strength in new challenges.
