A discovery of the deep history of ancestral modesty, which served to catalyze Esther’s meteoric rise to the imperial crown of Persia! Here our Sages take us back to the founding figures of our nation: a most unusual courtship conversation between Jacob and Rachel is elucidated, along with its unintended and surprising ending.

These stories richly illustrate the remarkable nature of Divine design and the notion that G-d always keeps score, and in the end settles them too! (Tractate Megillah 13a-b)
