Chayei Sarah - How Do You Carry Forward a Life You Can’t Get Back?

What do you do when the life you shared with someone is over, but your love for them still asks something of you? And how do you carry what they gave you into a future they will never be part of?

In this shiur, delivered in Sharfmans, Rav Burg explores Avraham’s response to Sarah’s death, the chesed that makes Rivka fit to enter her tent, and R’ Akiva’s surprising connection between Sarah’s 127 years and Esther’s 127 provinces. How do we remain faithful to the people who shaped us when we can no longer recreate the life we shared?

From Sarah’s open tent to Esther’s call to gather the Jews, this shiur explores what we bring forward from the life we miss, how we find the courage to build again, and how a Jewish home continues to sustain us even in Golus.
