Chayei Sarah (Genesis 23:1–25:18)

This week’s Torah portion is called Chayei Sarah, which means “the life of Sarah.”
The title of this portion is ironic because it begins with the death of Sarah, at the ripe age of 127. The passing of Sarah sets the stage for two great movements in Abraham’s later life. First, he purchases a piece of land in the place God promised him and his descendants. Second, he finds a suitable bride for his son, Isaac.
