Most Unique Tent

The most special place in all of history was the tent of Avraham & Sarah.
3 of the features were
The lights that stayed lit miraculously from one erev Shabos to the next ,
The dough that was always blessed ,
& the cloud of glory which enveloped it.

These correspond to the 3 great Mitzvos of women :
- Lighting up the world ,
- Chesed to all ,
& - purity & holiness.

Nidah , Chala & Ner.

Which is a key to greatness - see Avos 1: 15.

Power of Names

Why is Avram's name changed to Avraham & Yaakov receives an additional name Yisroel , but Yitzchok's name remains Yitzchok ?

Rav Nisim Gaon explains that Yitzchok had been named by Hashem from before birth thus it was always the same.
