One of the Imahot, “Founding Mothers” of the Jewish People; younger sister of Leah, daughter of Lavan, beloved wife of Yaakov.
Rachel was barren for many years, but when Hashem finally opened her womb, she bore “Yosef the Righteous,” so called because of his resistance, with all his might, to the attempted seduction by the wife of Potiphar, “And he refused, …And he said, ‘And how could I do such a terrible wrong as this, and I would sin against the L-rd.” (Bereshit 39: 8-9) Yoseph didn’t learn these standards of morality by himself. He was trained to them by his father and mother.
