Quote of the Week – Parshat Chayei Sarah
“Parshat Chayei Sarah reminds us that the true measure of a life is not simply the years we live, but the values we leave behind. Sarah’s life ended, yet her influence continued through the generations. Our greatest legacy is not what we accumulate in life, but the goodness, kindness and faith we inspire in others.”
