Parshas Chayei Sara (5769)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Eliezer, on his trip to arrange the marriage for Yitzchok, brought a certificate containing everything owned.  Rashi explains, this, so that Lavan should “jump” for the shidduch.  This was to see to it that the shidduch would be arranged without Lavan putting much thought into it. It was actually a great miracle that edifice of such wickedness and cruelty was willing to give their daughter to become part of the greatest light of kedusha in Creation.  Hashem truly manipulates all events.  This is a lesson which is so significant today with the current events seeming so frightening.  It is imperative that we strengthen our emuna in Hashem who is the “oseh chadashos” and we shall openly see the hand of Hashem in His rule.

Have a wonderful week and a good Chodesh.
