Veyetze: Rachel, Leah, and the Dual Highway to Stress Management
This episode examines the meaningful story of Leah and Rachel from parashat Vayetze through the lenses of Lazarus and Folkman’s influential theory, which distinguishes between problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies with stressful situations. Around the birth of their children, Leah embodies practical action and problem-solving, while Rachel represents emotional expression and the need for connection. This dynamic resonates deeply with Tikkun Chatzot, a practice rooted in mourning and seeking transformation. As we explore these narratives, they offer a timeless blueprint for balancing action and introspection—an essential part of the Jewish people’s enduring resilience.
