Parsha Halacha – Re’eh – Shabbat Mevorchim Ellul Avigayil the Beautiful Prophetess Rescuer and Wife of King David Sponsored by Israel and Gaby Kopel and their children, Yosef Chaim, Yitzchak Yehoshua, Shmuel David, and Clara Shaindel, in loving memory of their grandmother and great-grandmother, Chana bat Tzvi Hersh z”l, whose Yahrtzeit is 24 Menachem Av Parsha Halacha is underwritten by a grant from Dr. ● An Impassioned Speech When the two parties met, Avigayil dismounted from her donkey, bowed to the ground in front of (King) David,22 and gave an inspired, impassioned, and prophetic speech which saved both her family from destruction and David from sin.

(Although King David waited to consummate the marriage as explained above [and Kilav was simply born prematurely], this was not common knowledge.) Mentioned by Yakov According to the Midrash,43 when Yakov told Eisav that he had a ‫שִ פְ חה‬ (“maidservant),”44 he was referring to [the soul of] his descendant Avigayil who referred to herself as David’s ‫( שִ פְ חה‬maidser
