| Nov 20, 2015 at 15:08 | comment | added | DanF | Within the "mix" keep in mind that when the Torah says that she was "jealous" of Leah, it was a "positive" jealousy (see Rash"i on that verse). She was jealous that G-d answered Leah's prayers, and realized that she had to try harder. She wasn't hurt that Leah had all those children. If anything, we see how Rachel always tried to appease her older sister, even in a situation where, perhaps, Leah was acting "mean". In short, to say or imply that Le'ah was rubbing it in seems incorrect. | |
| Nov 20, 2015 at 6:50 | comment | added | sabbahillel | @EdRosenberg I was saying that Rashi said that she got "more than her share" but that it does not necessarily mean that she "took away" from Rachel. Nor does the phrase mean that it was anything other than acknoeledging the goodness of Hashem. Nor is it like the analogy of suing a friend and throwing it in his face. | |
| Nov 20, 2015 at 5:18 | comment | added | Ed Rosenberg | rashi says she was prasing g-d because she got more then her share. What did he mean by that. You seem to be explaining how she didn't at this point "take away" necessarily but Rashi says she did | |
