In this conversation, Maynard Breslow explores the themes of the parshat Chai Sarah, focusing on the death of Sarah, the implications for Abraham, and the significance of the Cave of Machpelah. He discusses the loss of prophecy experienced by both Abraham and Jacob, the importance of acquiring land legally, and the deeper meanings behind the characters in the Torah. The conversation emphasizes the value of family, the importance of prioritizing relationships over material gains, and the spiritual lessons derived from these narratives. Key Takeaways: The death of Sarah was linked to the Akeda. Abraham's prophecy diminished after Sarah's death. Abraham took responsibility for Sarah's burial. The Cave of Machpelah is a significant site for Jews. Ephron undervalued the Cave of Machpelah. We often take our blessings for granted. Spending time with family is invaluable. Our priorities should reflect what is truly important. The connection with our children is a portal to spirituality. The lessons from the Torah are relevant to our lives today. ———————————————– Find more episodes of Mamash Mavericks (https://mamash.ai/podcasts/live-wth-the-times) Apple (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-with-the-times-daily-insights-on-todays-torah-portion/id1747190949) Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/0SmByuJeaum0foP0WDrSOL) YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@BreslowTorah) ———————————————– Connect with us: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/mamashmavericks) LinkedIn – Maynard (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maynardbreslow/) ———————————————– Struggling to predictably bring in new B2B clients or monetize your podcast?
