Haye Sarah 5787

Sarah, Abraham's wife, departs this world at the age of 127, a respectable age, but it is always too soon to leave this world. Abraham will, of course, look for a place in which to bury her. And the text tells us that Abraham will pay a very high price for this place. He will not negotiate anything.

Why? Because in life, you reveal the importance of something through what you are willing to invest in it. For Abraham, burying Sarah in what is known as the Machpelah, the cave of the double, since only couples will be buried there, is something important for multiple reasons. Among others, because when we pass by this place, when we find ourselves in its proximity, we will be reminded of the teachings of those who were present there.

But above all, Abraham, with this detail that the Torah reports to us. who will pay a very high price, tells us to remember that what gives value to something is what you are willing to invest for it. While this is about cold, hard cash, undoubtedly one of the most precious things that belongs completely to us and reveals the importance we give to things is the time and energy we devote to them . Let us remember this lesson, especially for our family, our spouse, and our children.

When I am ready to pay, it means this thing is important, and giving one's time to one's family is the best way to show them their importance. M.
