Prayer and People: Turning to Hashem when Humans Fail
Parashat Vayetzeh: Change Nature
In this week's parasha, Vayetzeh, we see the awesome power of prayer and good deeds. Chazal tell us that Rachel Imenu was not capable of having a child. But because she was willing to give up her potential husband Yaakov to her sister Leah, to save her from embarrassment, Hashem changed nature and gave her a womb to have a child. But even then, after Rachel did that special deed, she still needed tefillah to complete the salvation. As the pasuk says, "וישמע אליה אלוקים."
Prayer and good deeds can do wonders. They are always available to us and we should take complete advantage of them.
Shabbat Shalom!
