How can you believe in such a G-d?!” Avraham realized that this was a trap aimed at paralyzing him, so he immediately “arose from before his dead.” 3 The malach hamavess tried to force Avraham to dwell on the face of death, on his grief, but “Avraham arose from before his dead” to avoid doing that. During the visit, he asked the Rebbe: “Where do we find the actual eulogy that Avraham gave for Sarah?” The Rebbe responded: “The very act of paying an exorbitant amount of money for her burial was the greatest proclamation of how much he cherished her.” 5 Action was Avraham’s response to disturbing thoughts. So many of those who came face to face with death and have all the reason in the world to be depressed and dejected are making Avraham-Avinu-type efforts to face the other way and do something to change themselves and the world for the better. “How can I use a pillow when Yidden are in bunkers?!” During the Holocaust, the Frierdiker Rebbe said 4 that American Yidden shouldn’t be able to swallow their food out of their feelings for the Yidden in Europe. Instead, the very next passuk says, ‫ויקם אברהם‬ ‫מעל פני מתו‬, Avraham arose from before his dead and went on to purchase Me’aras Hamachpelah for 400 silver shekalim.

The medrash 1 explains that Avraham actually didn’t eulogize Sarah because when he tried to, “the malach hamavess stood defiantly against him.” What? In Shevat of 5748 (1988), Rabbi Simcha Elberg came to be menachem avel the Rebbe after the passing of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka. As Avraham prepared his thoughts about Sarah he heard the voice of the malach hamavess saying, “Listen to your own words!
