“as all our imahos were besides for leah who was at the level of a baalas teshuva,”
I don’t understand this- you are saying that Leah was not a tzadekes because she was a BT?
How was she different from her sister Rochel who grew up in the same home as she did? Or for that matter Rivka, who came from a similar background, and Rashi refers to as a tzadekes bas rasha? And what does it mean to be a BT in that time before Matan Torah when they were only obligated in 7 mitzvos bnei noach, and taryag was intuitive?
Other than the passuk stating that her eyes were rakos, which we can understand as being red, swollen from crying, why would you conclude that it means she was not beautiful?
