Who is your favorite Matriarch?
Raulmarrio2000:
Surprised that so many people voted Rachel. In fact Rachel also, but I'm not a Jew, and you may imagine why I chose Rachel. She was Ephrayim's grandmother!!!!

--- Quote ---What does her being Ephraim's grandmother mean to you? Do you buy into the British-Israelism thing?
She was also Menashe's grandmother. So I'm after her husband and grandson.

What is British-Israelism?
I just like Eprayim because of what his name means.
(52) And the name of the second called he Ephraim: 'for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.'
Yoseph who apperently had no hope of surviving and suffered for years un Egypt, now had a son and thanked Hashem.
Later Israel blessed Ephrayim, and said he would be stronger than his brother, and both would be a blessing to Israel.
