Chayei Sarah: The Body as a Home for G-d


Listen Later

In this episode of More to the Story, I talk about how the energy of Vayeira flows into Chayei Sarah. These parshiyos are not separate stories but one current of guidance that keeps unfolding.

I speak about Avraham’s open heart, his hospitality, his prayers for Sodom, and how they teach us what it means to love without agenda. I also look at Lot’s home and how the energy of a parent shapes the moral weather of a family.

I spend time with Sarah. Her abductions. Her conversations with Hashem inside darkness. The way her body is restored and how her laughter becomes blessing. Her story shows that boundaries can be acts of love, that gevurah can serve chesed, and that both are needed to make space for the Divine.

And then I speak about the first Jewish marriage. About Rivka’s generosity at the well, the miracles that returned to Sarah’s tent, and how Yitzchak and Rivka teach us that the soul and the body are meant to meet, not compete. I share what I am learning about giving and receiving, about preparing ourselves as vessels for holiness, and about honoring what we have inherited while letting go of what no longer serves.
