Was Rivka Really 3 Years Old? Parashat Chayei Sarah
Many people hear how old RIvka was when she married Yitzchak in Parashat Chayei Sarah and picture in their mind a 3 year old like today. But Rabbi Yaron Reuven says, this is a mistake, the verses clearly show Rivka was big and strong, even for a full grown woman today. How else do you explain how a 3 year old can water a herd of thirsty camels?
Rabbi Reuven brings an important lesson on reading with commentary, and paying attention to the context of the verses that will help us to understand things that seem odd to us in 2026.
