Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Chayei Sara 5779

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is partial hey Sarah the question of the week is what is real life so in this week's Torah portion Pike practice hi Sarah as you see the name of the portion is called high a sorrow which means a life of Sarah so life of Sarah you would think speaks about her life but nevertheless you find three profound things in this week's Torah portion which are seemingly the opposite of the life of Sarah first of all she's being buried in the merits Mikayla so that's about death not about life second thing is we find that it's cook gets married and he moves into his own house so he's leaving his mother's house the life of his mother and the third is Abraham remarries and if Abraham marrying so what does that do with the life of the height of a surah so the Rebbe explains there's two types of life there's the life on the here and now and yes if you focus on the here and now Abraham remarrying you took starting his home own life the burial that's all not to hear an hour but the something which is called Khayyam Nitz kim chi amnesty means an everlasting life not focused on the now but focused on the fact in the life lasts forever and the greatest gift is not to only to live now but more importantly to live forever it's the biggest dream people have they love to live forever so hi I am knit scream means to have to live forever Sarah her whole life was one thing to establish the Jewish community the Jewish world forever and that was her goal and if Sal was able to accomplish creating a Jewish people that is called Heineken now let's look the first story Sam Sarah is buried we're in the Martha Michaela the modern era became the resting place for the patriarchs the matriarch until today we all go pray to the Martha Michaela so she established Heian it's him in the menorah - Michaela need some cover if we get married that is the future of the Jewish people if they wouldn't have got married it's good endure got married and he would live the life of single life we would to be everlasting life crime Nixon he gets married and he starts in his old family and he can pinions of life that his mother stuff that his mother stood for Abraham remarries but even after he marries was a Tory tell us he gave all his children his new children from his new wife gifts but the gift of Judaism when specifically he gets Hawk and from there to Jacob and there on to the Jewish people so the answer the question what is real life real life is high in its Krim life that lasts forever thanks for joining us this week's Torah lesson is dedicated in the memory of barackman are you late and Ben Joseph may their souls be elevated by the Torah was studying in their memory for more information please see our website
