Peter Robin asks:

Dear Rabbi

I think seven daughters refers to easy birth in Egypt. I cannot work out who the eight daughters in law are. Can you help? Is there a source?

Thank you for your help

Kind regards

Peter Robin, London, England

The Kollel replies:

Dear Peter,

The Aruch (Kaf 15) writes: These words are not to be explained. They are a passed tradition and this is the incantation. So are all incantations and amulets - we don't know their reason and what is their source.(In Egypt there were 6 births at once)

All the best,

Reuven Weiner
