Someone\u2019s sister?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know so little about you. Throughout the entire chapter you are silent, mute, dumbfounded, hidden. At first you were active, you went out to see! But instead of seeing, you were seen, and in one moment they kidnapped you, raped you, abused you, talked at your heart (not to your heart but at it), and then they took revenge because of you, and then took you again, spoke about you, and that is it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your brothers asked, &#8220;Should our sister be treated like a whore?&#8221; (Genesis 34:31). \u00a0\u00a0And sad to say but the answer is yes. Our Sages said that you were a whore like your mother. Rashi on Genesis 34:1 brings this midrash in his commentary, and since then every little kid quotes Rashi saying you are &#8220;a prostitute whose mother is a prostitute.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But do not listen to them Dina. Do not let these words hurt you. Thousands of years have passed since Shechem allowed himself to take your body, and we are here to return it to you.

Dina with the brunette hair, the brown hair, or the black hair &#8230; with the blue eyes, or the brown eyes, or the green ones&#8230; Dinah the tall one, the short one, the proud one, the wise one, the perceptive one, the brave one, beautiful Dina.
