She called her youngest to her side. Son, Listen to my voice: Vayomer haKol Kol Yaakov V’ha-yadayim yeday Aysav. Come near my son and heed my voice Bring the foods and meat of choice Your father’s eyes are dim and weak So place the skins upon your cheek! Vayomer haKol Kol Yaakov V’ha-yadayim yeday Aysav. Are you Esau, the eldest one? With shameful affirmation Lying to his patriarch Jacob hid inside the dark Vayomer haKol Kol Yaakov V’ha-yadayim yeday Aysav. Is there nothing left for me? Esau cried out angrily. His father held out empty hands, And Esau dreamed of vengeful plans. Vayomer haKol Kol Yaakov V’ha-yadayim yeday Aysav.

Whose Facing me? I’ve come on a mission from south and from west Is there any chance you have room for a guest? הַשְׁקִֽינִי־נָ֥א מְעַט־מַ֖יִם מִכַּדֵּֽךְ וְהִנֵּ֨ה רִבְקָ֤ה יֹצֵאת֙ וְכַדָּ֣הּ עַל־שִׁכְמָ֔הּ וָאֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יהָ הַשְׁקִ֥ינִי נָֽא׃ רִבְקָ֤ה A young man is waiting, so lost far away Searching the desert; longing to pray At the Well of Vision he tried to repair The hole that was left by his mother’s despair But lo, the well’s eye did not see That all roads lead back to you and to me A new generation is bound to grow Gather your things, come on let’s go! הַשְׁקִֽינִי־נָ֥א מְעַט־מַ֖יִם מִכַּדֵּֽךְ וְהִנֵּ֨ה רִבְקָ֤ה יֹצֵאת֙ וְכַדָּ֣הּ עַל־שִׁכְמָ֔הּ וָאֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יהָ הַשְׁקִ֥ינִי נָֽא׃ רִבְקָ֤ה Will you go with this man, leave us and the East? Could you start a new life, could you find peace? Do you have new seeds that you’d like to sow? Enough with the questions, Okay I’ll go. They left with the camels, the bags and the plan To find Yitzhak, his people and clan Without looking back, Reevkah smiled to herself, It all started with a pitcher and a well. הַשְׁקִֽינִי־נָ֥א מְעַט־מַ֖יִם מִכַּדֵּֽךְ וְהִנֵּ֨ה רִבְקָ֤ה יֹצֵאת֙ וְכַדָּ֣הּ עַל־שִׁכְמָ֔הּ וָאֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יהָ הַשְׁקִ֥ינִי נָֽא׃ רִבְקָ֤ה Chayei Sara Hebcal Date Sefaria Torah Reading Genesis 23:1-25:18 Song lyrics & Song music by Rabbi Elizabeth W.
