In Chayei Sarah, passes Yerushalayim and then says as Rashi Eliezer comes upon Rivka and observes her as it says is it possible I passed the place where my says in 24:16 ‘Va’teired ha’aiyna va’timaleih kadah,’ forefathers Davened and I didn’t stop to Daven she went down to the spring and filled her pitcher. there and he heads back. When he heads back, Rashi says that the water came up towards her. Rashi tells us that Yaakov has Kefitzas Haderech. It doesn’t say that she bent down to draw water but ‘Va’timaleih kadah,’ the water came towards There is a Vort from the Brisker Rav where he asks her and it was easy for her to fill up the pitcher. why didn’t Yaakov Avinu have Kefitzas Haderech on Therefore, Eliezer knew that this was a special person. his way towards Lavan’s house -- why is it only when he turns around and heads back towards Har Habayis Says Rav Zalman Sorotzkin, it bothered me, there it that he has Kefitzas Haderech?

Why didn’t the water go up to efforts he gets Schar. If G-d would give him Kefitzas her then? According to the Brisker Rav’s Yesod, it’s Haderech it would be an easier trip and it would take beautiful.
