Parshat Chayei Sarah

To a rose amongst thorns, Rivkah does compare,
She was surrounded by people who were evil and didn't share,
Yet she blossomed and was so kind,
A wife for Yitzchok, Eliezer was sent to find.

How would Eliezer know which girl was the best,
After praying for success he planned a camel test,
When Eliezer asked Rivkah for a drink,
"Why doesn't he ask his own men", she could think.

She didn’t question if she was really needed,
The job of quenching ten thirsty camels she completed,
Like Avraham who looked to serve guests at every opportunity,
To reach out and help others, was Rivkah's priority.

Eliezer knew that his mission was done,
A wife for Yitzchok she was the one,
But there was one more thing Yitzchok wanted to learn,
Would the three miracles performed for his mother return?

He brought Rivkah "To The Tent of Sarah His Mother,"
A better match there was no other,
It seems like extra words are spent,
Why doesn't the verse simply state that he brought her to the tent?

Every word is as important as can be,
Teaching us about 3 Mitzvot that were given to women specifically,
The cloud of the Divine Presence returned to hover,
Over THE TENT, that belonged to his mother.

The blessing in Rivkah's bread was found,
Just like SARAH'S bread that was famous all around,
Like Sarah, all week Rivkah's candles stayed bright,
Like a child who waits for HIS MOTHER, Shabbat candles to light,

The cloud of rain represents the Mikvah waters,
Lighting Shabbat candles is special for women and daughters,
Challah dough we separate,
These Mitzvot are truly great!
