Parshas Chayei Sarah: Courage To Begin In tribute to the fifth Yahrzeit of HaRav Ya'akov Tzvi Ben Dovid Sacks, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. Our Parsha begins with loss, love, and a new beginning. Avraham buries Sarah with dignity, then sends Eliezer to find a partner for Yitzchak. Rivkah's kindness at the well reveals her greatness, and when she enters Sarah's tent, the miracles of the first Jewish home return. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, shows that Avraham's life ends with peace not because he finished the mission, but because he began it with courage. True fulfillment comes from taking the first step, trusting that G-d will complete what we start. In honor of Eretz Yisroel – May G-d protect our brave soldiers, comfort all who grieve, and bring healing to our nation. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

Grief, generosity, and grounded choices shape the arc from Sarah's passing to Rivka's arrival at the well—and they also shape our Mondays. We walk through Chayei Sarah as more than history: it's a diary of decisive moments that refuses to preach in bullet points. Instead, the text slows down at each crossroads—buying a burial plot in full view, drawing water for strangers, finding comfort after loss—and lets us learn how courage and kindness look when money, honor, and family are on the line.From there, we tackle a big question: if the goal is to form character, why doesn't the Torah simply command it? Enter Mesilas Yesharim's closing chapters. The Ramchal argues that the mission is constant—bring true satisfaction to the Creator—while the path shifts with your role. A rabbi, an employee, and an independent contractor face different tests, yet each can reach the same center of the maze through integrity, restraint, and presence. We apply this frame to a real-world pivot from the study hall to real estate: taking calls, honoring contracts, resisting the urge to undercut a rival, and finding a focused Mincha in a glass-walled conference room.Along the way we make practical ethics concrete. Choshen Mishpat comes alive when a commission is disputed. Rivka's quiet generosity becomes a checklist for our own small acts. Abraham's transparent purchase becomes a model for clean deals. Even the humblest work holds dignity when done for the sake of family and with clean hands. The takeaway is simple and demanding: the maze changes, the mission doesn't. Wherever you stand—office, train, kitchen, or jobsite—treat it as holy ground by choosing well in the moment in front of you.If this resonated, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who's navigating a transition, and leave a review with one work habit you plan to elevate this week. Your stories help others find their way through the maze.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Is your body's experience a threat to your soul's expression? What impact does the body's wellbeing have on the soul? Does the body have any inherent wisdom worth listening to?Today's episode is an exploration of the value of the body's experience within Judaism, why the Zohar explains the deeper meaning of Avraham and Sarah's exchange as being an instruction to "listen to everything the body tells us", how it is possible that in the future "the soul will receive its nourishment from the body" and how to approach our body's cues, resistance and wisdom within the framework of a spiritual life.

What if the key to a fulfilling marriage resides within the ancient wisdom of the Torah? This exploration aims to elucidate the divine framework for fostering harmonious relationships, beginning with the notable narrative of Adam and Eve. Despite their flaws, this story provides significant insights into the commandment of marriage. Guided by the esteemed Rav Wolbe, we will examine three foundational principles for cultivating a satisfying partnership. We will also offer practical advice for individuals seeking love or aiming to strengthen their existing relationships.Consider perceiving one's spouse as one singularly significant individual, akin to the perspective that Adam and Eve may have held of one another. We will delve into the stories of esteemed biblical figures such as Abraham and Sarah, emphasizing the significance of the Shana Rishona, or the first year of marriage. This critical period is vital for establishing a deep and exclusive connection. We will also address the risks associated with comparison in relationships, highlighting the biblical principle of genuinely 'knowing' one's 'partner 'as a bond that can endure time.we discuss excellent character traits, or "middos," as a successful marriage's "foundational" element. By examining Yitzchak and Rivka, we will discuss the importance of recognizing and appreciating the commendable qualities of a partner. Marriage is a transformative environment for overcoming negative traits and embracing positive behaviors. Additionally, we will explore strategies for couples to engage in gamified approaches to this journey, nurturing a culture of generosity and mutual development. By prioritizing cultivating good character, we aspire to inspire the formation of a harmonious and spiritually enriched home rooted in Torah principles.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

What's more important, good middos or halachic observance?

We are pleased to bring you the audio shiur given on the topic of the Parshas Chayei Sarah.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What do we learn from Parshas Chayei Sarah?  How can these Torah chapters help us understand today's wars and what we can do to help the situation?  What is the central theme of this Torah portion?  Why is the portion that talks about the death of Sarah called the life of Sarah?  What is the lesson from Eliezer initially wanting his own daughter to marry Yitzchak, but ends up serving as the messenger to have Rivkah marry him?  How can Eliezer be Og King of Bashan, who was a villain?  What is the meaning of V'Avraham zokon bo ba'yomim?  Why did Abraham remarry Hagar/Keturah?  Why is Ishmael's return discussed at the end of this portion?  What can we learn from Sarah insisting that Ishmael be sent away?  Vayeira Why did Sarah laugh when she heard that she would give birth? Was she rebuked?  Why did the akeidah cause Sarah's passing?  If the akeidah was meant to reveal higher levels of love between us and G-d, why was Sarah harmed when she heard about the akeidah?  Is there a connection between a nisayon (test) and nes (miracle)?  Lech Lecha  Why don't we add a letter to the name of everyone who is circumcised as it was added to the name Avraham?  Chof Cheshvan  What lessons can we learn from the Rebbe Rashab today?  Can you please share an idea from the Rebbe Rashab?   Why did the Tzemech Tzedek ask to delay his bris? Winter  As we enter the winter season, what lessons does it offer us?  Why not put on a fur coat while also lighting a fireplace?  What attitude should we have to politics?  How important is the president of a country in the divine scheme?  War in Israel  How should we be responding to Israel's victories over its enemies?
