Chayei Sarah: Why People Who Want Credit Lose In Life | STUMP THE RABBI (250)

The typical person wants to do good, and if they are a religious Jewish they may even look for opportunities to do good. After all the good Avraham Avinu did, we see that in parashat Chayei Sarah, Avraham does not want any credit for all the good he's done. He doesn't want a free cave, nor does he expect his servant Eliezer to just obey him without making a vow. But why? It's not hard to find someone claiming for credit for some good that was done, yet our forefather Avraham is trying to teach us otherwise. Why is this such a valuable lesson, that HaShem put it right in front of our face to read and learn each year? This and much more will be answered, followed by the questions and answers from the live online audience. Enjoy, Learn, Share and Be Holy.
