We Stand with Israel

We are horrified by the unprovoked attacks on Israel this weekend. We have witnessed the country that holds a unique place in hearts subjected to rocket and terror attacks. Hundreds have been killed, taken hostage or are missing in inexcusable acts of aggression. Our hearts weep for all the innocent people of the region affected by these terror groups.  In the days and weeks ahead, we pray for the safe return of innocent hostages and the forces of peace to bring calm and safety to this Holy Land.  

We stand in solidarity with our Israeli brothers and sisters

and all those affected by these acts of violence and terror. 

DONATE TO ISRAEL

Israel needs us. Please donate to the Jewish Federation of Atlanta-Israel Emergency Campaign. To donate:

Chayei Sarah ...

The Life of Sarah

Sarah lived to be 127 years old--such was the span of Sarah's life. - Genesis 23:1


SUMMARY

  • Abraham purchases the cave of Machpelah in order to bury his wife Sarah. (23:1-20)
  • Abraham sends his servant to find a bride for Isaac. (24:1-9)
  • Rebekah shows her kindness by offering to draw water for the servant's camels at the well. (24:15-20)
  • The servant meets Rebekah's family and then takes Rebekah to Isaac, who marries her. (24:23-67)
  • Abraham takes another wife, named Keturah. At the age of one hundred and seventy-five years, Abraham dies, and Isaac and Ishmael bury him in the cave of Machpelah. (25:1-11)
