From the outside looking in, Rachel’s* husband was seen to be the perfect man. He cooked. He cleaned. He laid tefillin and was learned in Torah.
Tall, dark and “exceptionally good looking”, he was admired by many.
“He would sit there at Shabbat dinner, in front of all of his friends saying, isn’t my beautiful wife incredible? Isn’t she such an amazing cook?” Rachel recalls his compliments.
But behind closed doors, life was very different.
