Rivka is not chosen by chance to be Yitzchak's wife. Avraham's servant was looking for a woman who could continue the path of Avraham and Sarah. Through her act of kindness, her diligence, and her willingness to do more than was asked, it becomes evident who Rivka truly is.
In this unit we will learn how Avraham's servant set out on a mission to find a wife for Yitzchak. We will learn about his loyalty to Avraham and about his request to G-d to guide him on his mission. We will delve into the sign the servant chose to identify the right woman, and into Rivka's behavior. We will examine what each of her actions reveals about her: diligence, generosity, initiative, attentiveness to others, and willingness to do more than was asked, perseverance, and dedication. We will compare Rivka's kindness with the hospitality and kindness practiced by Avraham and Sarah, and we will see how kindness characterizes the patriarchs and matriarchs of the nation. At the end of the class we will learn about Rivka's decision to go with Avraham's servant, and about the meeting of Yitzchak and Rivka, and the significance of Rivka entering Sarah's tent. The main values that emerge from this unit are: Kindness and devotion are central and important qualities for every person of Israel. Faith in G-d's providence and in His ability to help a person in times of distress. The search for a partner should focus on good qualities.

In previous units we got to know Avraham and Sarah, who practiced tzedakah, charity, and kindness. After Sarah's death, Avraham faced an important task: shaping the next generation.
Avraham entrusted the great task — finding a wife for Yitzchak — to Avraham's servant. Note the expression repeated in the verses, "Avraham's servant," the servant, rather than by his name, Eliezer. By calling him "Avraham's servant," the Torah highlights his commitment and his selfless devotion to Avraham.
The Torah devoted an especially long chapter to this story, which teaches about its importance. It is not just about finding a match for Yitzchak, but about the search for a person who could continue the path of values of Avraham's family.

" וַתֹּאמֶר שְׁתֵה אֲדֹנִי וַתְּמַהֵר וַתֹּרֶד כַּדָּהּ עַל יָדָהּ וַתַּשְׁקֵהוּ….
וַתְּמַהֵר וַתְּעַר כַּדָּהּ אֶל הַשֹּׁקֶת וַתָּרׇץ עוֹד אֶל הַבְּאֵר לִשְׁאֹב וַתִּשְׁאַב לְכׇל גְּמַלָּיו. " (בראשית כד:יח, כ)
"She said: drink, my lord; and she quickly lowered her jug onto her hand and gave him to drink…
She quickly emptied her jug into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew water for all his camels" (Bereishit Chapter 24, Verses 18 and 20).
