DVAR TORAH
Do not rationalize your faults by blaming others for them.
The pusuk in perek 25 pusuk 20 begins "AND YITZCHOK WAS FORTY YEARS OLD WHEN HE TOOK RIVKAH, THE DAUGHTER OF BESUAIL THE AROMITE, FROM PADAN AROM, THE SISTER OF LAVAN THE AROMITE, FOR HIMSELF FOR A WIFE."
Rashi raises the question that the information in this verse about Rivkah's background seems superfluous. The Torah has already stated that Rivkah was the daughter of Besuail, the sister of Lavan, and was from Padan Arom. The answer, says Rashi, is that this is to let us know the praise of Rivkah. She was the daughter of an evil person, the sister of an evil person, and lived in a community of evil people. Nevertheless, she did not learn from their evil behavior.
The tendency of people, many times, is to try to excuse their faults by blaming others as the cause of their behavior. "It's not my fault I have this bad trait, I learned it from my father and mother." "I'm not to blame for this bad habit since all my brothers and sisters do it also." "Everyone in my neighborhood does this or does not do that, so how could I be any different?" They use this as a rationalization for failing to make an effort to improve.
We see from our matriarch Rivkah that regardless of the faulty behavior of those in your surroundings, one has the ability to be more elevated. Of course, it takes courage and much effort to be different. The righteous person might be considered a nonconformist and even rebellious by those in their environment whose standard of values are below his level. However, a basic Torah principle is that we are responsible for our own actions.
Have a wonderful Shabbos from the Perelson Mishpacha
