More Than Anything Else, Hashem Wants Breaking Middos and Learning How to Accept There is a picture of R' Dovid Bleicher Zatzal being: חַ תֵ תַ שְ מִּ (visiting) Kever Rochel Imeinu, and I heard that in Novardok they had more: תוּשגְ רַ תְ הִּ emotion by Kever Rochel than by the Kosel, because Rochel was outstanding in Shviras HaMiddos. Notice how Mama Rochel is a #1 address for all kinds of Yeshuos in Klal Yisroel. I would venture to say that Leah Imeinu is a super inspiration to us all, since we see how the ongoing relentless Tefila of a broken-hearted person can turn around her whole destiny and Mazal, as it says: וַיַרְ א ה' כִּ י שְ נוּאָ ה לֵ אָ ה וַיִּ פְ תַ ח אֶּ ת רַ חְ מָ הּ ויצא כט לא Hashem saw that Leah was rejected, so He gave her a child!
But there is something about Rochel, which Chazal say actually saved us all, and in her Zechus: וְשָ בוּ בָ נִּ ים לִּ גְ בוּלָ ם ירמיה לא טז her children will return to their land, i.e., her Shviras HaMiddos. Many people complain to me that they daven so hard, and work so much on Bitachon, yet nothing happens. Sometimes the answer is, that more than anything else, Hashem wants breaking Middos and learning how to accept.
I’ve seen Gevaldige Yeshuos when people have stopped davening, and took a break to thank all the time. Besides the Segula of being thankful, they have a Zechus of going against their Tevah of being dissatisfied.
