A Verse for the Name Rachel
Question
I have not found a verse for the name Rachel that can be said at the end of the Amidah (as a segulah, so that one will not forget one’s name on the day of death). Perhaps you know a verse that would be suitable for me?
Answer
Shalom uVerachah
In Parashat Haazinu (Deuteronomy 32:39):
רְאוּ עַתָּה כִּי אֲנִי אֲנִי הוּא וְאֵין אֱלֹהִים עִמָּדִי אֲנִי אָמִית וַאֲחַיֶּה מָחַצְתִּי וַאֲנִי אֶרְפָּא וְאֵין מִיָּדִי מַצִּיל
Likewise, one may say a verse in which the name Rachel appears. (3) Genesis 29:17:
וְעֵינֵי לֵאָה רַכּוֹת וְרָחֵל הָיְתָה יְפַת תֹּאַר וִיפַת מַרְאֶה:
Leah's eyes were weak, and Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.Shabbat Shalom - Binyamin Shmueli
