Parshas Chayei Sarah It's All Good (By Rabbi Berel Wein -www.torah.org)

In truth, our mother Sarah, like many other mothers past and present in Jewish life, has not quite received her due. Rashi, quoting Midrash in describing Sarah’s life, states that all the years of Sarah’s life were “for good.” He must mean “for good” in a spiritual and holy sense, for in her physical worldly life there was little good that she experienced. Wandering over the Middle East by following her visionary husband to a strange and unknown destination; being forced into Pharaoh’s harem; being unable to conceive children; having her maidservant Hagar marry Avraham and attempt to usurp her position in the household; kidnapped by Avimelech, the king of the Philis-tines; seeing her precious son’s life threatened by an aggressive and violent step-brother, Yishmael; and passing away almost fifty years before her husband – this does not make for a happy resume of a life that was “all good.” In fact, it raises the eternal question of why do bad things happen to good people. But powerless as we are to really answer that question cogently and logically, we should, in retrospect, view our mother Sarah with a renewed sense of awe and appre-ciation. Lesser people would have been crushed by such a cascade of events in one’s lifetime. The Mishna speaks of the ten tests in life that befell Avraham - and that he rose above all of them. We should also make mention of the tests in life that our moth-er Sarah endured in her existence and that she too rose above them. “The wisdom of women builds their home,” said King Solomon. That certainly must be said of the house of Avraham, the founding home of the Jewish people. It was Sa-rah’s wisdom and fortitude that was the foundation of that home. In everyone’s life there are moments of danger, frustration, disappointment and even tragedy. Who amongst us can say in truth that all the years of our life were “all good?” This being the case we must revert to the understanding that since the “all good” in the life of our mother Sarah must perforce be interpreted in a spiritual sense – in a sense of continual service to God and man and a commitment to a higher level of living than mere physical existence and an optimistic frame of mind – so too must we search for such an “all good” interpretation in our individual lives as well. The striving for finding such an “all good” approach to life is the essence of To-rah and Jewish ritual. I once had to attend a rabbinical court here in Israel in order to register as being married. As often happens in government offices here the wait to be serviced was long and the ambience was not very pleasant. The clerk handling the matter was rather surly and disinterested in my problem. Finally a wonderful rabbi came out of his inner office and took care of me and my need expeditiously and warmly. When I was foolish enough to begin to complain to him about the long wait and the less than forthcoming clerk, the rabbi gently shushed me and said: “Here in the Land of Israel all is good!” And when one is on that level spiritually that is certainly true. Shabbat shalom

SCRIP PROGRAM

Thank you to our shul members who have either recently started to participate in the Scrip program or who have continued their

involvement. I am happy to report that from July 1st our shul has raised $3152. Twelve new families have started to buy supermar-ket gift cards since July, and two new families enrolled to make purchases from their favorite retailers. I am happy to announce

that we just bought a limited number of $100 gift cards from Whole Foods to sell to the shul members directly. They are on a

first come first serve basis so come while supplies last. Daniella (Cell) 516-286-0815

ADOPTING IDF UNITS WITH YIWH’S 3 SOLDIERS

We have received a request for warm winter jackets. Why the IDF does not supply them is beyond me but we have collected over $1100.00 and I have contacted the organization which is going to look into buying at least some jackets for our adopted units. But we still could use more funds to buy more jackets and other necessities for our soldiers. Contributions to:
