Our guest this week is David Shmidt Chapman, a rabbinic student at JTS.
Our parish is Chayei, Sarah. Sarah dies at age 127 and is buried in the Machpelah Cave, which Abraham purchases from Ephron the Hittite. Abraham’s servant is sent to Charan, to find a wife for Isaac. Rebecca, the daughter of Abraham’s nephew Bethuel, is the chosen wife.
What do we know about Sarah? Does Abraham love her? Is Isaac and Rebecca the perfect match?
