PORTION COMMENTARY

ISAAC PRAYS FOR REBEKAH

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

The Prayers of the Righteous: The Talmud says, “Why were our ancestors barren? Because the Holy One, blessed be He, longs to hear the prayer of the righteous” (b.Yevamot 64a).

COMMENTARY:

Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived. (Genesis 25:21)
