Yaakov Avinu crossed back over the river in order to retrieve some small
flasks. Chazal say that a talmid chacham should not go out alone at night.
Yaakov was also tremendously wealthy. Even though tzaddikim value
their possessions, Yaakov would not have risked his life for them. Why
did Yaakov Avinu go back for the flasks he left behind?

The message we learn from here is that even small mitzvot have value.
One who gives up on small mitzvot, will eventually leave the larger ones
behind as well. On the other hand, by paying attention to small mitzvot,
we can merit salvation.

The word has the numerical value of one hundred, hinting to the one
hundred berachot a Jew should say every day. Sometimes a small mitzvah
plays a major role in our ability to function or live.
