Chayei Sarah

Parsha in a Nutshell: Death of Sarah, the purchase of Machpela, Eliezer being sent by Abraham to find a wife for Yitzchak, Eliezer and Rivka at the well, the negotiations with Laban and Rivka returning to marry Yitzchak.

24/57 - How can you arrange a marriage to a child if, according to this Rashi, you cannot marry off a woman without her consent. Consent wouldn't (or shouldn't) be able to be given until someone reaches an age of maturity.

24/67 - The repetition of "he married Rebecca, she became his wife" is left untouched by Rashi. Seems ripe for a short explanation.

Some clever notes and insights by DovBear are here

A laundry list of articles on the parsha can be found on Hirhurim
