Mama Rachel and Yitzchak Rabin
There's a connection between Yitzchak Rabin, the Prime Minister who was assassinated on the 12th of Cheshvan, and our matriarch Rachel, and it goes beyond the coincidence of the consecutive dates of death. Here's the connection.
"During the Rabin administration, Kever Rachel was slated to fall into 'Area A', that is, under full Arab civil and military control. Upon seeing this, Knesset Member Chanan Porat [National Religious Party. CiJ] decided that he must speak with Rabin in the hopes of changing his mind. As Chanan Porat was walking to Rabin's office, Knesset Member Rabbi Menachem Porush [United Torah Judaism. CiJ] asked Porat where he was going. Hearing that Porat was about to fight for Kever Rachel, Porush asked to join in the meeting. At Rabin's office, Chanan Porat was diligently explaining the ins and outs of the security situation at Kever Rachel and making rational arguments that did not seem to move Rabin.Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned from the respective turnouts for the two memorials on Saturday night. Some 70,000 people showed up to pray at Rachel's tomb. Only 15,000 showed up for the Left's annual hatefest in Rabin Square.
"Suddenly Rabin looked at Porush and saw that he was crying. Porush held Rabin's hands and with tears streaming down his face, said: 'Yitzchak, it's Mamma Rachel, Mamma Rachel.' At that moment Rabin's heart opened, and he altered the map so that Kever Rachel would remain in Jewish hands."
Maybe the people of Israel have figured out that they have never been told the truth about Rabin's death.

ANYONE who is so bent toward judging others, and would even enter the realm of your actions or alleged actions during YOUR mourning period, which is YOURS AND YOURS ONLY, would be just judging him/herself, 'cause by the same strict, stiff, standard of all DIN, he/she would be judged by H.Q.B.H.
That attitude is a GOYISHE ATTITUDE, typical of our worst enemies, and unfortunately is so wide-spread even among "frummies", who forget that Trah-ture Judaism is NOT a "religion" and forget what being a Jew, and being TORAH observant is all about.
CHESED (and lack of it), Rabbenu Ovadiàh Sforno teaches, is one of the elemnts that make you understand if one is really Jewish or not ('Erev Rav).
Tenachamù Min Ha-Shamayim.
HaDaR, I have absolutely no comprehension of what you just wrote. Is there a book you could refer to for us to read on this topic? You're talking about goyishe this or that, but I actually like it when Carl explains what he and his family do. So in order to understand how *you* think things should be, I'd need to read up on it.
