Parsha Halacha – Parshat Chayei Sarah – Shabbat Mevorchim Kislev The Wedding Ring The Custom and its Reasons Sponsored by Batia Segal in honor of her father, Rabbi Dvir Segal, on the occasion of his birthday To sponsor or subscribe, please email rabbicitron@hotmail.com In the Torah portion of Chayei Sarah we read about the wedding of Yitzchak and Rivkah, the first wedding discussed explicitly in the Torah. 14 Even HaEzer 37:4 15 Seder Olam Rabbah 1 16 Birchas Asher on this Parsha 17 This is only a question according to Tosfot (cited in footnote 2) that the betrothal took place when Eliezer gave Rivkah the nose ring but not according to the Midrash Lekach Tov (cited above) that the betrothal gifts were given to Lavan and Betuel.
