As the pasuk states, ‫ וַ יּ ִתְ רֹצֲצוּ הַ בָּ נִים בְּ קִרְ בָּהּ‬And the children struggled within her, ‫ וַתּ ֹאמֶר‬and she said, ‫" אִם־כֵּן‬If [it be] so, ‫ לָ מָּה זֶּה ָאנֹכִי‬why am I [like] this?" ´‫ וַתֵּ לְֶך לִדְ רשׁ אֶת־ה‬And she went to inquire of HaShem.[2] When asked about selling the firstborn birthrights, Eisav, who was also experiencing his own existential challenges,[3] exclaimed similarly: ‫ וַיּ ֹאמֶר עֵ שָׂו‬Esau replied, ‫“ הִ נֵּה ָאנֹכִי הֹולְֵך לָמוּת‬Behold, I am going to die; ‫ וְ לָ מָּה־זֶּה לִי בְּכ ָֹרה‬so why do I need this birthright?”[4] Question: In each of these cases, we find that both Rivka and Esau were experiencing difficult challenges, with each responding with a similar expression. Rivka, however, said, “‫ ”לָ מָּה זֶּה ָאנֹכִי‬since her primary focus was on ‫ָאנֹכִי‬, a reference to HaShem.[5] She desired to find out what HaShem wanted of her, which prompted her `‫ לִדְ רשׁ אֶת־ה‬- to daven and seek an answer from HaShem.[6] Story: In our struggle to understand life’s challenges and pain, Rabbi Dr. That is why it says, “´‫ וַתֵּ לְֶך לִדְ רשׁ אֶת־הַ שֵׁם‬- And she went to inquire of the L-rd.”[10] Interestingly, we see later that Rivka uses the word ‫ לִּי‬as it says: ‫ וַתּ ֹאמֶר רִ בְ קָה אֶל־יִצְ חָק‬And Rivka said to Yitzchok, ‫“ קַ צְתִּ י בְ חַ יּ ַי‬I am disgusted with my life ‫ מִ פְּ נֵי בְּנֹות חֵת‬because of the daughters of Cheis. ‫ אִם־ֹלקֵ חַ יַעֲק ֹב אִ שָּׁה‬If Jacob takes a wife ‫ מִ בְּנֹות־חֵת כָּ אֵ לֶּה‬of the daughters of Cheis like these, ‫ מִ בְּנֹות הָָארֶ ץ‬from the daughters of the land, :‫ לָ מָּה לִּי חַ יִּים‬of what use is life to me?”[11] In this instance, she says the words ‫ לָ מָּה לִּי חַ יּ ִים‬as it mattered greatly to Rivka, whom Yaakov would marry - so much so that she would have been done with life otherwise. In this merit, may we experience the time when we will all hear that great shofar and ‫ וְָׂשא נֵס לְ קָ בֵץ ָּגלֻיֹותֵ ינּו‬- and we will raise a ‫נֵס‬, a banner and symbol of our fortitude and endurance throughout the millennia of challenges of Golus - to gather our people together from the four corners of the globe to our land with our righteous Moshiach, speedily in our day.
