Not only did they actually take place after her passing, but nature of the events described in the sedrah are also the antithesis of “the life of Sarah:” The first section {of the sedrah} relates how Avraham purchased the cave of Machpelah for Sarah’s burial; the second topic2 is the marriage of Yitzchak and Rivkah. At the end of the account, the verse says,3 “Yitzchak was comforted after {the passing of} his mother” {and Rashi comments:} “When she {a person’s mother} dies, he finds comfort in his wife.” The same is true (and to a greater extent) of the third topic {which discusses that}4 “Avraham took another wife…,” and {later} continues, “these are the descendants of Yishmael….” All of this is the complete antithesis of “the life of Sarah,” since the approach of (the life of) Sarah was to “banish this maidservant and her son….”5 How then can we say that the title of sedrah, “the life of Sarah,” describes the content of the sedrah — and of the entire sedrah? As the verse says:7 “But Hashem, the L-rd, is true, He is the living L-rd,” and8 “You who cleave to Hashem your L-rd, are {all} alive….” It is therefore understood that it is apparent that we see that Yaacov lived a true life — an eternal life, a life of holiness — when we see the eternity of his life: even after his soul left his body, it continued onward through “his descendants” who are “alive.” Their lifes are the same9 as their forefather Yaacov’s life. The same is true of “the life of Sarah”: Sarah’s life became revealed and established {as a real and true life} when the impact of the years of her life were (also) apparent after her physical lifetime — when her activities of goodness and holiness endured (also) later {after her passing}. Accordingly, we can understand {how} the section of the sedrah which recounts the marriage of Yitzchak and Rivkah {expresses “the life of Sarah”}: The conduct of Yitzchak, who was the child of Sarah (“her descendents are alive”), was in harmony with (the approach of) the life of 6 Taanis 5b. The same is true of the co
