Parshas Chayei Sarah - We are in Good Hands!
from The Thinking Jewish Podcast Hosted by Rabbi Zvi Gefen
Parshas Chayei Sarah We ask ourselves if we are living the good life. How do we define a good life? We often say I am married and have kids and have money and have a good community. I have a good life. They tell a story of a lady who lived a long time ago and her father gets thrown into a fire and burned alive. She then leaves that town and has no idea where she is going to live and she goes with her husband and when they get there the economy collapses and they have nothing to eat and then she gets kidnapped and is almost raped and then her brother gets taken captive and once he is Bh saved she says I can’t have kids and gives her husband to another woman to have a child and they do and she feels like 2 cents. Then she finally has a kid and is so happy and everyone is happy for her but behind her back she hears how she is too old to raise a kid and then even her kid is taken to be executed. You would say she had a bad terrible life but it says this is the life of Sarah and Rashi says they were equally good. Kulan shavin letova. How could this be?
