Shabbat Table Topics – Parashat Vayetze
Religiosity of the Avot and Imahot
Is it possible that not all our ancestors were pure monotheistic believers, but that for some, belief in one God was the result of a religious journey? Rachel's Stealing of the Terafim raises this question for the reader as we wonder why Rachel would have stolen her father's figurines.
- Did she do so for her own personal use, perhaps having inherited some of her father's idolatrous beliefs? Or, was she actually trying to prevent her father from having them, proactively trying to prevent him from such worship?
