Mama Rochel

Taste of Tamid
Taste of Tamid

Mama Rochel

Did she stop crying?

The navi doesn’t say so

And Chazal are ambiguous on the topic

Hashem tells her to stop

Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz tells her not

Either way

We cry on

At the center of shemoneh esreh

The center of the universe

And the center of the night
