Engagement Gifts

Why did Eliezer give Rivka

A golden nose ring that weighed a half Shekel
And 2 gold bracelets weighing a total of 10 shekel. ?


Rashi & others ( 24:22 ) explain that the two bracelets remind us of the purpose of our hands to fulfill the 10 commandments.

The half Shekel reminds us that the gold jewelry is only external we need to back it up with the inner beauty of devotion to Hashems Torah & Mitzvos.
