What Ohel Rachel will do for you

Ohel Rachel articulates the vivid, multi-hued portrait of the Jewish Woman in the light of the Torah and her three special mitzvos.
More than simply assigning you a role, it connects you with the essence of your spirit and the source of your power.

The Tale Of An Enchanting Painting

Picture a beautiful painting that is the centerpiece of a prestigious gallery. It dazzled all who saw it, and enchanted all who studied it. One day, someone drapes a sheet over it. Suddenly, people struggle to describe its beauty. As days pass, it becomes hard to distinguish between accurate reminiscence and fanciful memory. A wise man arrives. He studies the artist's sketches and produces a pamphlet describing the painting's beauty in clear, concise words. Now, other artists can replicate the beauty...

The Traditional Jewish Woman Articulated

Our holy mothers carried out their roles for centuries in quiet and purity. They were the backbone of their families, their communities and the Jewish people. Today's confusing world has draped an sheet over that model and we struggle to articulate the whys and the whats of our most satisfying calling. The author of Ohel Rachel, in his clear and articulate manner, succeeded in expressing the model we have been groping for, by looking into the blueprint that designed the Jewish woman - the Torah.
So we can replicate that alluring model within ourselves...

FAQ

  • How does this Sefer fit into the landscape of the Nexus School?

    The passuk in Shir HaShirim (6:10) says: "יפה כלבנה ברה כחמה" "Beautiful like the moon, brilliant like the sun" We FIRST seek to find our beauty, through embodying the timeless values of the traditional and beautiful Jewish woman, the epicenter of the Jewish home the unquestionable essence of Jewish continuity... by embodying the principles in Rachel's Tent. Only THEN do we go on to strive to incorporate the brilliance of the woman who lives in the times before Mashiach the one who refines and nourishes herself through Torah, whose roots are in Heaven as much as they are in the earth. who knows how to allow her spirituality to shape her perceptions, choices aspirations, and to not be ashamed of her great light. That is the Rise! Series... Rachel's Tent is our heritage. The Rise! Series is our future.
