CONTENTS:
This booklet presents Genesis 24:10-27, the story of the search for a wife for our patriarch Isaac and how Rebecca proved herself to be a suitable mate, matriarch, and leader of the Jewish people. Students' understanding is developed through a series of motivating activities and by a rabbinic midrash that illuminates the biblical story. Before creating their own midrash,students explore questions and ideas such as: Why was it important that the future matriarch of Israel show compassion to animals as well as to people? How can putting yourself in another person's place help you become a more compassionate person?
