The Gift of Life (Chayei Sarah)

Parshat: Chayei Sarah Our Matriarch Sarah dies and is buried. She is deeply mourned. She is succeeded by Rebecca. Yet, the details of her death and beyond appear in a Torah portion entitled: “The Life of Sarah.” Because a body may die, but not a soul. A pulse may chug to a halt, but a spirit throbs louder. All that Sarah lived for was alive; the seeds she sowed now sprouted. In her family. In her land. In the unfolding of her legacy. Child of Sarah! Your positive impact creates bands that widen with time. Invest today to perpetuate your life tomorrow. Give yourself the gift of life. - From the Rebbe’s teachings Dedicated by Rabbi Yaakov & Devorah Halperin Chabad of the Lehigh Valley, PA, in honor of the thousands gathered this week in New York for the annual International Conference of Shluchim.
