#Paracha #Toldot : Pourquoi gâter sa femme ? Rav Dagani Cohen #chabbat #torah #jerusalem

Hello, in Parashat Toldot, Isaac arrives in Gerar, and just like his father, he has to hide that his wife Rebecca is his wife; he must say she is his sister to avoid trouble. Then one day, Abimelech the King sees through the window that he is behaving with Rebecca as his wife. So he called him and said, "How could you dare to do such a thing?" Something very serious could have happened. Just after that, we see a verse that he sowed in the land, a land that was not fertile because there was famine and drought, and yet, 100 times more than what was expected came out of that earth.

He became very rich. The question is to know what connection exists between what happened just before and the wealth of Isaac. Well, you should know that in the Zohar , Parashat Tazria, page 52, it is written that all of a man's blessing, all the abundance, all the "bracha" he will have, is thanks to his wife. Moreover, the Gemara tells us that a man who wants to get rich, a man who wants to have the blessing, must cherish his wife, must buy her gifts, must make her happy, and if he does so, he will get rich.

Well, Isaac, we see here in this parasha that he became rich, but if he weren't married, if he weren't married, where would this "bracha" come from? Where would this blessing come from? It is not possible. That is the reason why , after it is known that she is his wife , it is logical that he receives a blessing.

And so as not to suspect him of being married, he was only given this blessing after the matter was settled. Ah.
