Everything is Precious

It is written in Bereishit (32:25), “And Yaakov was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the break of dawn.” Rashi explains that Yaakov returned across the river to retrieve a few small jugs he had forgotten.

Why did Yaakov go to such great lengths to retrieve a few insignificant jugs?

Rashi answers that for tzaddikim (righteous individuals), every small thing holds importance. Yaakov's actions demonstrate that even the smallest of items can have a profound impact.

This teaches us a valuable lesson: we should care about everything, no matter how insignificant it may seem. By paying attention to small details, we can create meaningful change in the world. Yaakov's example inspires us to appreciate the value of even the smallest things."
