Welcome to Covenant & Conversation essays, Rabbi Sacks' commentary on the weekly Torah portion, explores new ideas and sharing inspiration from the Torah readings of the week.
Although there is no audio available for the essay we are sharing with our readers this week, here is a recording from the archives, https://rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/chayei-sarah/beginning-the-journey/.
You can find the written article on Chayei Sarah that expands upon these ideas available to read, print, and share, by visiting: https://rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/chayei-sarah/the-next-chapter/. Multiple translations of the essay are also available here.
For intergenerational discussion on the weekly Parsha and Haftara, a new FAMILY EDITION is now also available: https://rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation-family-edition/chayei-sarah/the-next-chapter/

The Rabbi Sacks Legacy continues to share weekly inspiration from Rabbi Sacks. This piece was originally written by Rabbi Sacks in 2013. This was also the first Covenant & Conversation piece we shared after the untimely passing of Rabbi Sacks zt"l, so it is fitting that this week, 4 years since that week, we learn it again in his memory.
With thanks to the Schimmel Family for their generous sponsorship of Covenant & Conversation, dedicated in loving memory of Harry (Chaim) Schimmel.
