Rosner’s Torah Talk: Parshat Chayei Sarah with Rabbi Harry Rosenfeld

[additional-authors]
November 21, 2019

Rabbi Harry L. Rosenfeld became Rabbi of Congregation Albert in Albuquerque NM on July 2011. He was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where members of his congregation stepped in and helped raise him after the death of his mother. Throughout his career he has worked to create such caring communities wherever he has served as the Rabbi.

Our conversation focuses on the main characters we meet in Chayei Sarah, from foremothers Sarah and Rebecca to forefathers Abraham and Isaac.
