This week we read in the Torah about how Eliezer, Abraham's servant, goes to find Rebekah, Nahor's daughter, to marry her to Isaac, Abraham's son.

Nuestros sabios aplican a Rivka un versículo del Cantar de los Cantares: «Como una rosa entre las espinas, así es mi querida entre las hijas», donde la idea es que Rivka era una santa (la rosa) entre personas de mala fe (las espinas), y Eliézer la rescató para llevarla hacia Itzjak justo antes de ser afectada por su familia.

The teachings of the Torah are eternal, so it does not refer only to tales and stories, but to current and practical instructions for life.

Así como Eliézer tuvo que retirar una rosa (Rivka) de entre las espinas, de la misma manera es la tarea de los padres «retirar» a sus hijos de entre las espinas de la sociedad que constantemente atenta contra la pureza natural del corazón de los niños.

All children are generally like roses: soft, pure, and delicate. They possess a natural faith in God, an integral part of their being. It is the responsibility of parents to safeguard this beauty, ensuring their children receive the best Jewish education, both inside and outside the home—an education based on example and love for others. Otherwise, it is very likely that the thorns will end up damaging the rose.
