Weekly Torah Portion
With our thanks to Aish

Chayei Sarah Genesis 23:1 – 25:18
Sarah dies at the age of 127. Abraham purchases a burial place for her in Hebron in the cave of Ma’arat HaMachpela. Abraham sends his servant, Eliezer, back to the “old country,” his birthplace Charan, to find a wife for Isaac (Yitzchak). Eliezer makes what appear to be very strange conditions for the matrimonial candidate to fulfill in order to qualify for Isaac. Rebecca (Rivka) unknowingly meets the conditions. Eliezer succeeds in getting familial approval, though they were not too keen about Rebecca leaving her native land.

Abraham marries Keturah and fathers six more sons. He sends them east (with the secrets of mysticism) before he dies at 175. Isaac and Ishmael bury Abraham near Sarah in Ma’arat HaMachpela. The portion ends with the listing of Ishmael’s 12 sons and Ishmael dying at age 137.
