Yes, but I guess I don't get why someone would need a nurse past childhood and why Devorah is such an important figure that her name and death are mentioned in the Torah.
We don't see any other figure in Tanach (that I can think of) who had a nurse that stayed with them past childhood. Correct me if I'm wrong. But this always niggles at me.
I did not study this in depth but I do remember learning her mother died when rivkah was young.
Perhaps it’s teaching us the great respect and gratefulness rivkah had for the one who was not her biological mother but the one who stepped up to the plate.
Nursing/weaning in tanach:
Interesting Midrashim too
Basya and Miriam with Moshe
Beyom higamel- avraham made a tour of party when yitzchok was weaned
Chana brought shmuel to mishkan then (?)
Sarah nurses all the babies after yitzchok was born
Kegamul alei imo
Birchos shadayim veracham

When Yaakov dreamed the ladder which Malcheim went up also-not the ones who were accompany him.
I will rewrite this question.
When Yaakov dreamed of the ladder he saw the Malchiom that were coming to go with him outside of EY come down and those who were with him in EY going up the ladder.
There were a group of Malchiom who "hitch hiked" up also. Who were they and why did they have to go up this way?

Ok GLUE, never heard of that one, so I googled and found:
The Rosh (Genesis 6:2) writes that these angels were actually from the "Nephilim" in the generation of Enosh.
In exchange for intimacy, they handed over their wings to a young lady. She than took off with them and the angels were now stuck. That is, untill Yaakovs dream, where they found a ladder to heaven on which they ascended and could now return above.

So interesting!!
What I learned was that the Malchiom that came to destroy Sodem said that they will be destroying and did not say anything about Hashem so they lost there ride back to Shemioim.

She went with Rivka to Avrohoms house at 3 years old (according to the midrash) and raised her.
I'd love to be able to read 2-3 riddles for my kids to generate discussion each Shabbos at the seuda.
Can anyone volunteer to compile these into a printable Q and A format?
I think someone did, back when this thread was first active. I don't remember who.
But there are several books on the market that contain Jewish riddles and trivia questions. We have a few of them.
