in the arts crosstalk parties told us it's great to see many more people coming back it's a shame we're going to pack the place like we used to the energy of talmatora in person live the parsha coming alive our coming alive it's really great to be here i appreciate it very much this is the story these are the offspring this is the progeny of yitzhak the son of avram begat it's the one time in your entire life that you use the word begat avraham begat which is another way of saying abram is the father of yitzchak the redundancy we will not explore today we've discussed in the past why does the torah have to present this this son of abraham avram is the father of shanna see how fast we're moving today we're going right to the second passage who was the sister of lovana to for himself as a wife as a wife is identified as rifka bas biswell and rashi jumps in rashi tells us every part of this biographical sketch every part of rifko's resume we already know did we not meet her in last week's pasha did eliezer not painstakingly go and entertain the entire process to explore her resume to call her references he didn't do any of that nourished guide he went to the well he saw her he said she's the one it's time that we go back to the way it was and simplify the process i think we'll see a lot better results okay in any case so eliezer painstakingly found rifka for yitzhak and we know from last week's parasha rivka is the daughter of the sewell she is the sister of lavan she's from padan aram says rashi we have a resume picture no picture we have a resume we know
