ויתרצצו הבנים בקרבה
When רבקה אמנו passed the בית מדרשshe felt kicking and when she walked by the בית עבודה זרה she felt kicking as well. Confused by the contradicting messages she said to herself;
אם כן למה זה אנכי ותלך לדרש את ה'
And so, what did she do?
ותלך לדרש את ה'
She went to find out what was going on.
According to רשי, she went to ישיבה שם ועבר where she was told that she was going to have twins, שני גוים בבטנך who are polar opposites and that’s why she was feeling kicking by בית מדרש and the בית עבודה זרה .
There is another explanation on this פסוק that we can learn a beautiful lesson from.
It is the mother that builds the home. The mother is the protection for her home. A mother is the foundation of her home.
She is the one that instills the children with יראת שמים.
When רבקה אמנו felt kicking both by both kedusha and again when she passed tumah, she realized that the child in her must be lacking. The child was missing in יראת שמים.
What did she say?
אם כן למה זה אנכי
If this is so, who am I?
I need to work on myself!
She looked back at herself because she knew that she, the mother was responsible for the יראת שמים of her future.
ותלך לדרש את ה'
She went to work on her יראת שמים!
