The other is as though everything is a miracle.—Albert Einstein An Enigmatic Verse A moving verse in this week's Torah portion, Chayei Sarah, reads:[1] "Abraham was old, he came in days, and G-d had blessed Abraham with everything." What is the meaning of this expression that Abraham "came in days?" Most biblical commentators[2] explain it simply that Abraham had advanced in years; that he had grown much older. Several chapters earlier, the Torah states[4] that "Abraham and Sarah were old, they came in days; the manner of women had ceased to be with Sarah." This verse describes Abraham and Sarah at the ages of 99 and 89, respectively, one year before their son Isaac was born. https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/5393/print-view 1/4 11/5/23, 7:44 PM TheYeshiva.net Our verse however—“Abraham was old, he came in days”—describes Abraham living 41 years later, after the death of his wife Sarah at the age of 127 and right before the marriage of his son Isaac, who married at the age of 40. Allowing Life to Touch You The Hebrew expression used for "they came in days" is "baeim bayamim." A literal translation would read, "They came into the days." Perhaps, then, we ought to interpret the words "they came into the days" in the simplest way possible: that Abraham and Sarah entered inside their days, allowing the days and its experiences to encompass them completely and touch the texture of their very being. When Life Became Rough Now we will understand why, 41 years later, the Torah finds it necessary to repeat the exact same description about the first Jew: "Abraham was old, he came into the days." No doubt during this period of time, Abraham experienced the most profound and most turbulent moments of his entire life. Till his last breath, the founder of the Jewish faith awoke each morning and said, "I will live my life today to the fullest; my heart and soul will immerse themselves fully in the journey of life today and I will maximize the unique mission give to me for this day." When you live in such a fashion, as the verse, continues, you are blessed. When the wife of the third Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Tzemach Tzedek, Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch (1789-1866) died in 1861, the Rebbe quote
