Torah Portion Preview<br />
For Chayei Sarah<br />
Shabbat beginning <strong>November</strong> 10 th , 2023<br />
We learn basics of counseling from this Torah Portion. A few dozen verses begin<br />
with “and they were the lifetime of Sarah” and end with Abraham securing Israel<br />
by purchasing a cave for burying Sarah and himself. But most of the portion<br />
concerns arranging Rebecca’s and Isaac’s marriage. As instructed, Abraham’s<br />
servant traveled to Abraham’s original home where he found beautiful Rebecca at<br />
a well. She kindly provided him and his camels with drink and travels with him to<br />
marry Isaac, who becomes the Torah’s first person to be in love.<br />
The unnamed servant was a clever counselor. He plans, by not just doing<br />
Abraham’s bidding, but also considering how others might receive his offers. On<br />
discovering Rebecca’s beauty, kindness, and openness, he plans to meet her family<br />
to persuade them of his mission. The servant then sets up a transformative<br />
environment by introducing Rebecca to Isaac at Sarah’s tent, so that they can<br />
discover each other. This simple story models counseling development, as our<br />
Reform seminary scholars described it, beginners plan events. Next, counselors<br />
explore various types of learners. Mature counselors develop plans for unique<br />
understandings for each learner type. Ultimately, inspiring counselors create<br />
transformative environments for rich learning.<br />
We invite all to come to synagogue in person or on Zoom on Friday night to hear<br />
a more in-depth interpretation from Rabbi Meeka (or this Sabbath's lay speaker).<br />
We also invite other views, interpretations, reflections, and even poems on each<br />
Torah portion. If you have something to contribute, please email it to<br />
RPC@templeadasshalom.org. This and prior previews can be found at Dr. David<br />
Dirlam's website by clicking on Changing Wisdoms Projects.<br />
