What’s Happening at Temple Sinai
Torah from Sinai
- Friday, November 14, 2025 / 23 Cheshvan 5786
This week’s Torah portion is entitled Chayei Sarah – “The Life of Sarah.” We are told, however, about her death rather than about her life. In addition, the parasha recounts the last years of Sarah’s husband, Abraham, before the portion concludes with the story of his passing. So where exactly is all the “life” in this portion?! From the literal reading of the Hebrew, we might notice a hint from the very start: “Sarah’s lifetime – the span of Sara’s life – was a hundred year, and twenty year, and seven years.” In other words, she lived for 127 years. Why describe it as “100 year (singular) + 20 year (singular) + 7 years (plural)”?
