Parshat Chayei Sarah: The Camel's Lesson in Kindness

📖 Parshat Chayei Sarah This Week: The real star of this parsha? The camel, mentioned 18 times! In a portion all about kindness (Rivkah watering Eliezer's camels), why focus on camels? Because they teach us something profound: camels can travel vast distances and help others cross deserts, but only after they fill themselves with water first. The Hebrew word 'gamal' (גמל) means both 'camel' AND 'to bestow/give to others.' True kindness doesn't mean becoming a shmata, a rag, letting people walk over you, or depleting yourself completely. You can't pour from an empty cup. Fill yourself first, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and then you'll have the capacity to help others truly. Self-care isn't selfish; it's preparation for sustainable kindness. Shabbat Shalom. 🐪
