S1E5 Chayei Sarah 2022


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we focus on women. We consider the death of Sarah, Avraham's wife, the marriage of Yitzchak to Rivka, a woman who was similar to Avraham in many ways, and Avraham's later marriage to a woman called Keturah, whom Rashi says was Hagar.

We also address:

  • Why does the Torah spend so much time describing how Avraham purchased a burial place for Sarah?
  • Where do we get the custom of swearing on something holy, like the Bible?
  • What qualities made Rivka the right wife for Yitzchak? 
  • Was Rivka's brother, Lavan, like his righteous sister- or not? 
  • How is it possible that both Yishmael and Yitzchak buried their father Avraham? Hadn't Yishmael been sent away? 
  • Based on our questions and discussions, we come up with some very important lessons and takeaways for our own lives!
