If You Are Undergoing Sin'ah, Hashem Surely Has Rachmanus on You, And You Will Receive Lots of Goodness from Shamayim

Hashem heard (?) that Leah was שנואה: hated? It also says (ויצא כט לא): וַיַּרְא ה' כִּי שְׂנוּאָה לֵאָה. Hashem saw that Leah was hated. He saw that she experienced Sin'ah? There is no doubt that Yaakov Avinu, the בָּחִיר שֶׁבָּאָבוֹת: greatest of all three Avos, had no Shaychus with that lowlife Midda of hating humans. (Ohr HaChaim). Sin'ah is strictly Eisav’s territory and his specialty. Or Hamas terrorists, who love having a “hate-mode” so they can feel good and important about their “extremely vital” activities. But Yaakov Avinu is a person who enjoys loving people, even to perfect strangers, to whom he says (כט ד): “אַחַי מֵאַיִן אַתֶּם” “My brothers, from where do you come”, and when he said: “אַחַי” “My brothers”, he sincerely felt like a brother.

It says (כט ל): וַיֶּאֱהַב גַּם אֶת רָחֵל מִלֵּאָה Yaakov loved Rochel “more than” Leah, meaning that he also loved Leah. So the “Sin'ah” (dislike) towards Leah was דַּקֵּי דַּקּוּת: microscopic and impossible to understand. (R' Chaim Shmuelevitz Zatzal). Similarly: וַיַּרְא ה' כִּי שְׂנוּאָה לֵאָה (ויצא כט לא) “Hashem saw that Leah was hated” must be בְּדַקֵּי דַּקּוּת: microscopic. Besides, Yaakov was surely not O'ver (transgress) on: לֹא תִשְׂנָא אֶת אָחִיךָ בִּלְבָבֶךָ (קדושים יט יז) You shall not hate your fellow Jew in your heart. A lav d'oraisa of the Torah! Yet, Hashem is מָלֵא רַחֲמִים: full of compassion on poor Leah, who is undergoing microscopic “Sin'ah”, therefore וַיִּפְתַּח אֶת רַחְמָהּ (ויצא כט לא) so He gave her children. The lion’s share of Klal Yisroel descend from Leah!

How happy we have to be about all the antisemitism (which is real Sin'ah). Without a doubt, it brings us tremendous הַשְׁפָּעוֹת טוֹבוֹת: goodness from Shamayim. How thankful we have to be to those many anti-Semites, who promote more and more Rachamim for Klal Yisroel!
