SHABBAT CHAYEI SARA
Torah Page: 80 | Haftarah Page: 90
Haftarah: Ami Seeligsohn & Ryan Goodman
RABBI’S SHABBAT MESSAGE
This morning we read the story of the final years of
Sarah and Abraham. Our attention, however, is
drawn to what we read at the very beginning of this
morning’s portion. Thousands of years of Jewish
burial practices have their foundations in these
opening verses. One particular thing to note to us is
the immediacy that Abraham brings in seeing that
Sarah is cared for respectfully and with dignity.
Take a moment to consider the large number of
verses that describe in detail how Abraham secures a
burial plot for Sarah. They also describe her eulogy
and the funeral and in giving us this narrative we see
no break in his love for her. In other words, as soon
as she died all of Abraham’s energy was solely
devoted to looking after her. It was true for him and
it is true for us today. Caring for those we love both
in a moment of burial and long after in moments of
memory, we continue to be inspired by Abraham’s
loving kindness to the woman he loved.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich
