And Jacob Set Up a Pillar
201) “And Jacob set up a memorial stone over her grave; it is the memorial stone of Rachel’s grave to this day.” “To this day” because to this day, her burial has not been covered, since the Creator will revive the dead.
202) “To this day,” the day when the Shechina will bring Israel back from exile in Rachel’s burial place, as it is written, “There is hope for your future, declares the Lord, and your children shall come back to their own country.” This is the vow that the Creator swore to the Shechina. And when Israel return from the exile, they are destined to stand at Rachel’s burial place and weep there as did she over the exile of Israel, as it is written, “They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them.” And it is written, “for thy work shall be rewarded.” At that time, Rachel, which is on the way, will rejoice with Israel and with the Shechina.
