Mrs. Rivkah Slonim - Beyond the Red String

This week’s Torah portion, Chayei Sara, contains some of the most memorable stories from the five Books of Moses. One, which has sparked much commentary from the Sages, is the story of the marriage between Isaac and Rebecca. Beginning with the miraculous journey of Abraham’s servant Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac, to his divinely guided meeting with Rebecca at the well, to Rebecca’s continuation of the tradition of her mother-in-law, Sara, there are many dimensions to this intricately told story. This week, Torah Café brings you videos that touch on the various aspects of the Torah portion as well as some of our favorite new videos. In our featured video, renowned speaker, Rivkah Slonim will discuss the concept of the evil eye, which features heavily in the various customs of a Jewish wedding. Enjoy!
