This Week At

Temple Emanu-El

Mi she berach avoteinu, M'kor hab'racha l'imoteinu

May the source of strength, Who blessed the ones before us

Help us nd the courage to make our lives a blessing

And let us say: Amen.

Mi she berach imoteinu, M'kor hab'racha l'avoteinu

Bless those in need of healing with r'fuah sh'leima

The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit,

And let us say: Amen.

Mi She-berach(Prayer for Healing)

Isaac pleaded with the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren;

and the Lord responded to his plea, and his wife Rebekah conceived. (Genesis 25:21)

Isaac pleaded. He prayed much and persistently He stood in one

corner and prayed, while Rebekah stood in another corner and prayed. (Rashi)

We do not learn about Rebekah's feelings concerning her childlessness,

nor are we told that she does anything to try to change the situation. Isaac could

have taken other wives to solve the problem of continuity but he apparently does

not. Isaac's sensitivity to Rebekah stands out in contrast to Jacob, who chastises his

barren wife Rachel when she asks for children (30:2)."

(Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, Hara E. Person, The Torah: A Women's Commentary)

Isaac, arguably the weakest and least accomplished national leader among

the three patriarchs, is the only monogamous husband among them and the only

one to pray for his wife's well-being.

What does this say about the burdens of public leadership?

What does this say about the virtues of monogamy a family institution rather late in

arriving on the Israelite/Jewish scene?

Is Isaac, in fact, the most accessible role model for husbands and fathers among the

patriarchs?
