Parasha Chaiei Sarah - Genesis 23:1 - 25:18
The name of this section of Scripture is translated as “The Life of Sarah”. Sarah is known as the first of the matriarchs and from her womb came the son of promise, from whom all the people of Israel descended.
Although her life was not easy, and at times her faith was tested, Sarah accompanied Abraham to the end and her legacy endures to this day.
Abraham is the one who is usually remembered as “the father of faith” and “the father of the people of Israel”, but not many take into account that a mother was also necessary to carry out this promise. We cannot underestimate the importance of that woman who, with her faith and perseverance, helped Abraham himself to overcome the trials and challenges that would lead him to become the father of our people.
