Beer-Lahai-Roi

Beer-Lahai-Roi – the well where God found Hagar – and near which Isaac settled after Abraham died – the well of living water where those fleeing the wrath and neglect and abuse of Sarah and Abraham could drink and settle and be healed and renewed.

Maybe . . . this is the source of the rain and the dew prayed for in the Mechayeh Metim prayer. The water that enables one to spring to life.

Maybe . . . it is the source of a mikveh as well, where one can be born anew, washing away the harsh words and the rope burns and the fear and the terror and the abandonment.

Some find God on Mount Moriah – some flee Mount Moriah and find God at Beer-Lahai-Roi.
