Drash Cards for Chaye Sarah (5765)<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n

\u2022 Let’s read Ch 24, v1 without “Bo B’yamim” and then with it. What do we learn from these words?<\/p>\n

\u2022 They were used once before in Ch 18, v 11 meaning ‘well on in years’ \u00a0— i.e. old.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In Ch 24, v 1 they mean ‘really old’, i.e. that Abraham might die before the return of Elazar<\/p>\n

\u2022 R. Avraham of Slonim said that some people let the day priced them; others preced the day. \u00a0For the former, only at the end of the day does the person realize that something is needed for spiritual growth. \u00a0The latter worries about tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Abraham was neither. \u00a0He came exactly with the day and his firm faith allowed him not to worry about the next day. \u00a0We might call this mindfulness — with its origins in the Torah.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chidushei HaRim has a different view: \u00a0each day has its unique challenges and goals — today and only today can we seize spiritual opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Abraham both lived the big picture and made good use of every single day and its unique goal<\/p>\n

\u2022 Maayanah Shel Torah said that Abraham accomplished something each and every day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At the start of each day we should ask “What can I accomplish today?” and at the end of the day “What have I accomplished this day?”<\/p>\n

\u2022 If the answer is weak, Zelig Plishkin says do one small thing: study some Toray, give to Tzedaka, or make a list of goals .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
