The entire Torah portion of Chayei Sarah discusses Eliezer's mission to find a wife for Yitzchak and yet although it is all his narrative, do you know how many times his name is mentioned in this portion? You got it, none! Not even once...
The message? It is not about him, it is about his mission. The question is not which candidate won because being a President is not about the President! It is about serving the USA not your own legacy or personal beliefs. Did our country win? We are all here to serve our G-d given mission. It is in the fulfillment of that mission that our life is meaningful. Menachem M. Bluming
