it created for the mother is very unique. We don't see it in previous stories or in subsequent stories. So, this needs to be studied. Rivka is experiencing agitation. Something is bothering her. This is not an easy pregnancy. But, her question is a unique question. Her question is not why am I in pain? Why am I suffering? Is there anything I can do? Any vitamins I can take? Are there certain exercises that can help me? Maybe I can get some of good decline soup or healthy food so that I should be soup or healthy food so that I should be able to deal with this better. Maybe I need some thing to give strength and stamina to my energy. Rather, her question is very existential. Why am I? Whoa, that's a big one. From the agitation she's experiencing, she's now questioning her very existence, her very identity. This means this was more than physical pain or even more than just an emotional pain. There was something here that really got to her to the point of saying, "Lama zeh anochi? Why am I?" It's almost like my anochi? Why am I?" It's almost like my whole existence, my anochi, my sense of I is put into question. And when the sense of I is put into question, we all understand that's a serious condition. Because everybody has questions, and everybody has to deal, as they say, with their own pekel, with different baggage and luggage. But, this question is why anochi? Why am I? Something in the I is now with a question mark instead of an exclamation point. Lama zeh anochi? And as a result of that, she's not asking advice from anybody. She needs the creator of the universe.
