05 Chayei Sarah – shazak.com

Mazal Tov! Congratulations!
Yitzchak was so happy to have a wife who would follow in his mother’s footsteps and continue her tradition of Hachnasos Orchim, welcoming guests to their home.
Rivkah was happy too, and HaShem blessed her, just as he blessed Sarah. Once again, a special cloud rested over their tent, there was plenty of dough and fresh Challah, and Rivkah’s candles stayed lit from Shabbos to Shabbos.

A Good Life

Avraham led a full and rewarding life. He had so much Nachas (pleasure) watching the amazing young couple, Yitzchak and Rivkah. Even his son Yishmael did Teshuvah before Avraham passed away at the age of 175 years old. Yishmael returned to doing good and believing in HaShem.
Avraham, the first Jewish person is the first of our 3 forefathers (not four fathers). During his lifetime, HaShem tested him 10 times (the last being the “Binding of Yitzchak”) and he passed each one with excellence. Although, it would be 400 years before the Torah would be given, Avraham studied the Torah and performed the Mitzvos!
Avraham was buried in Me’aras HaMachpeilah, next to his wife Sarah.
