Sara, mother of the Jewish People, dies at age 127. Avraham seeks to bury her in the Cave of Machpela & pays its owner, Efron the Hittite, an exorbitant sum (as much as a million shekels!) to purchase it.

Avraham sends his faithful servant Eliezer to find a wife for Yitzchak from Avraham's family. Eliezer travels to Aram Naharaim. He prays for a sign & Rivka appears. Eliezer asks for water. Not only does she give him water (140 gallons!), she draws water for his 10 thirsty camels as well. This extreme kindness marks her as the right wife for Yitzchak.

Rivka leaves with Eliezer. Yitzchak brings Rivka into his mother Sara's tent, marries her & loves her. Avraham remarries Hagar (Ketura) & they have 6 children. After giving them gifts, Avraham sends them to the east. Avraham dies at age 175 & is buried next to Sara in Ma’arat HaMachpela.

Sometimes We Have No One to Blame But Ourselves & Our Imagination!

Rav Kook explains how fear and one's imagination often cause more damage than the problem itself. In fact, most of our problems we cause to ourselves, and if we made decisions based upon Godly logic and ideals, it would not only grant us a feeling of security, but in fact we would save ourselves from most problems, and surely the inflated or exaggerated ones.

The Neurotics of the Exile Mentality & Fear of Change

Rav Kook ingeniously explains this difficult aggadita about "Sandal Messumar", relating to the problem of "Fear of the Unknown", and the Exile Mentality, where fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This analysis has many current ramifications regarding the individual and Israel's relationship with her enemies, as well as with America, and how to deal with anti-Semitism today in America, Europe and Australia.
