In our journey to understand the epic legacy of Abraham and Isaac, the stories of their actions and attributes are abruptly cut short by the urgent quest to find Isaac a worthy wife - welcome to the team, Rebecca. Clearly the text is trying to teach us that there is something unique and essential about Rebecca that is required for the continuation of the Abrahamic legacy. Join us as we begin to unravel the story of Rebecca at Lavan's house and how it sheds light on the unique characteristics necessary to continue this chosen heritage. What can we learn from her and how can we learn to continue this legacy ourselves?
