Commentary to Genesis 38, this lesson looks at the role models set by Judah and Tamar.

One ran way and fell hard, the other stood firm and merited to become mother of the kingly line.

Judah is a role model for those named after him, Jews. Like the Jewish people in general, Judah embodied both the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

Tamar's behavior also reveals to us just how far one must go to do the right. This is one great lesson that I am sure you will very much enjoy.

This also lesson teaches about reincarnation and how it was viewed in ancient Israel.
