Seeing Blessings Every Day

from On the Other Hand: Ten Minutes of Torah

Translated, Chayei Sarah means "the life of Sarah." It's an odd title for a parashah that opens with Sarah's death, but even though this parashah doesn't detail Sarah's life, it does teach us about the kind of life she lived. Rashi tells us that in Sarah's 127 years of living, all of her years were equally good. We know that Sarah lived with immense heartbreak, but she still saw the blessings in all of her days. Listen to Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, discuss what it means for all of our years to be equally good.
