Rachel was the daughter of the wealthy Kalba Savua. Seeing the potential in Akiva an ignorant worker of her father, she secretly married him. Her father disowned Rachel for this and they lived in complete poverty. She let her husband go away and study Torah for 24 years, allowing him to become the famous Tana Rabbi Akiva. After realizing the true stature of his son-in-law, Kalba Savua nullified his vow and Rachel once again became wealthy. Rachel the wife of Rabbi Akiva is buried in Southern Tiberias where many women visit her tomb.
