Caves, chaos, and caving in: Chayei Sarah

Our culture makes death more difficult and chaotic than it needs to be, but birth and death are on the same continuum.

In this week’s parsha, there is bargaining and also faith. Listen as I tell the story of my dying cousin and what it has to do with climate disaster, Sarah and the hope for the world.
