Welcome to today's podcast! In this week's portion, we explore the moment when Abraham's servant, Eliezer, embarks on a mission to find a suitable wife for Isaac. He takes ten camels from his master’s wealth and travels to Aram Naharaim. Upon reaching the city, Eliezer prays to God for guidance, setting a test for the young women he encounters at the well. His request is for a woman who not only offers him water but also extends her kindness to his camels.

As Eliezer prays, the beautiful Rebekah approaches, fulfilling his request perfectly. She offers him a drink and goes on to water his camels, demonstrating her hospitality and compassion—qualities essential for joining Abraham's household. Eliezer, awed by this divine sign, presents her with gifts and inquires about her family. When she reveals that she is the daughter of Abraham’s brother, the servant is filled with gratitude, recognizing God's hand in guiding him to the right match for Isaac.
