Parashat Chayei Sarah (the life of Sarah)
Words in the Torah always have a special meaning.
In this section, Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for his
son, Isaac.
It is important to mention that the Torah frequently uses the word
“servant” and never calls him by his name, even though we all know the
Torah is talking about Eliezer.
Here lies a very important lesson. Eliezer could have presumed or
faked his trip. He could have gone to a different place or even taken a shorter
trip and returned later just to tell Abraham that he failed and therefore
Eliezer himself would become Abraham’s heir.
But he didn’t.
We have so many “anonymous” people in our society that serve us
with loyalty and devotion.
Police officers, firefighters, nurses, trash collectors… You name
them…
This Shabbat let’s think of them and remember their devoted work
In
memory of my beloved mother and teacher Miriam Rachel bat Israel Itzchak
