In this session, we will again examine a passage from the Torah, this time the search by Avraham’s servant (identified in the midrash and commentaries as Eliezer) for a wife for Yitzhak, as recounted in this week’s parsha, Hayyei Sarah.
We will identify and analyze, with the help of commentaries, what were the things that caused the servant’s feelings of gratitude. We will also study how he expressed these feelings, both bodily and verbally, ways we have not yet encountered in our previous sessions.
For those interested in preparing or looking over the sources for this session in advance, I have posted them here.
