Who is Rivka (Rebecca)?
Matriarch Rebecca, known as Rivka in Hebrew, is a revered figure in the Torah, and her legacy of strength, resilience, and kindness is a cornerstone of our charitable endeavors.
Our dedicated women’s initiative within FOSY bears her name as she faced the initial challenge of infertility, but her unwavering faith led to the birth of twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Her kindness extended beyond her family, as she demonstrated genuine hospitality to strangers, reflecting the values we hold dear.
In naming our women-focused initiative after this remarkable matriarch, we aim to carry forward her legacy of compassion and support for those in need, just as she embraced strangers with open arms.
