Chayei Sara is the world after the Akeidah: how Avraham and Yitzchak walked back into life with new eyes, and how we’re meant to daven with those eyes today.

Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevre of Shirat David learn a short, potent piece from Reb Carlebach's Even Shlomo about מיחדות—that inner point of “what’s special” inside every Jew—and why Yitzchak and Rivka’s shidduch had to be more than “compatible”; it had to be
"special meets special."

From Eliezer’s test at the well, to zeh Keili v’anveihu (a personal, beautiful connection to Hashem), to the way Yom Kippur → Sukkah → Simchas Torah reconnects us to that inner point, we map how to find our word in tefillah, our portion in Torah, and our way back when we’ve gone external.

What you’ll hear

• Why after the Akeidah, ordinary compatibility isn’t enough
• How to help our generation by linking Torah to each person’s unique nekudah (and why they’ll keep searching elsewhere until we do).
• A practical path: Yom Kippur restores the link → Sukkah expresses it → Simchas Torah rejoices in it.
• The chuppah image: the kallah “points”—zeh zivugi v’anveihu—and how to bring that clarity into daily avodah.

Takeaways

• Ask daily: What felt special in my davening today? One word.
• Give first honor to the inborn nekudah, and then coach behavior.
• Teach Torah by matching it to people’s inner point.
• If you feel disconnected: rebuild with the YK→Sukkah→Simchas Torah ladder
