Vayetze | Who Knew What and When - Revisited, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom
Was Rachel aware that she was Yaakov's promised bride?
Continuing our inquiry from last year's shiur, we explore the description of Lavan's "deception" of Yaakov regarding his marriage to (Rahel) Leah then Rahel and explore what each of the players in this dramatic sequence may have known or believed about the dramatic and meta-historically significant wedding night. We contrast the straightforward read of the text with the Midrashic approach and explain the role that each plays in our study of this scene and of the complex relationship between Yaakov and Lavan.
