Who knows where our own acts of kindness and charity may lead us to. Rebekah’s small acts of kindness led to her become the matriarch of a great people but her acts were done not for their reward but because they were the right way to act. In the first encounter we have with Rebekah the matriarch of many of our faiths shows kindness to animals. We can infer from this message that if it’s important to be kind to animals then surely we must be kind to our fellow man or woman. Acts of kindness may appear to lead us to a dead end but G-D might instead show us a U Turn that opens our world to a new path of hope and happiness that we were unable to see before we acted.
