On love as an action-verb. Love is not merely an emotion but how we show up for one another, even when we don't want to, even when it's hard. Discussing Leah's anguish, agency and resolve.

What can we learn from the complex--dysfunctional even--relationships between Yaakov and each of his wives? Support the podcast.
