It is fascinating how current events mirror happenings in the Parsha of the week. In Parshat Toldot we read about Rivka being barren . She and Yitzchak prayed for children and their prayers were granted when Rivka gave birth to twins.
This week's headlines were dominated by a story about twins.
"A team of 16 surgeons and nurses successfully concluded 25 hours of delicate surgery Tuesday to separate twin Bangladeshi girls who had been joined at their heads, sharing blood vessels and brain tissue."

Last night, I read a news story on the Haredim Hebrew website about a seventy-one-year-old man from Bnei Brak who became a father for the first time after his fifty-two-year-old third wife gave birth to twins. The shalom zachar will take place iy"h this coming Friday night, Parshat Toldot.
