Description

We are told that Yitzchak is only consoled over the death of his mother Sara when he marries Rivka and brings her into his mother's tent. Why is this the way Yitzchak finds consolation for his mother's death? What is the connection between, or perhaps the transition from, Sara to Rivka? In what way does this set the paradigm for the relationship between every parent and child and then husband and wife? We explore all of these questions in a way that both teaches us important insights into the human condition as well as ties together all of the four distinct components of Parshat Chayei Sara.
