PARSHAS CHAYEI SARAH
There’s a vort from the Belzer Rebbe ZT”L on this week’ parshah which is fantastic! He asks a very strong question. Before Eliezer found Rivkah, he had no idea who will marry Yitzchok. Yet it says when the marriage proposal was finalized with the family, Eliezer brought gifts for the family. He brought fruits from E”Y-(that’s a thoughtful gift! Everyone enjoys a good delicious refreshing food) He brought jewlery for Rivka (smart gift! Any woman would accept those!) and also clothes. Asks the Belzer Rebbe, what SIZE clothes did he bring?? Yitzchok’s bashert could be ANYONE! so maybe she’ll be small, maybe she’ll be heavy, or maybe thin….???
The question is a beauty, but the answer is even BETTER:
He says he didn’t bring clothes for Rivka to WEAR, he brought a sample of tzniusdig’ clothes to SHOW her that THIS is the FASHION and STYLE clothes that one wears in an Avrohom Ovinu’s house!
In Lovon’s house, I don’t know what you wear, low cut, mini skirts, whatever,…well, that may fly over around HERE, but if you want to marry Yitzchok, the Living Korbon, and wish to become a Matriarch for Klal Yisroel…THIS is the dress code and type of clothes worn by Imohos HaKedoshim!
