PACHIM KETANIM FROM RABBI YUDIN: IN HONOR OF PARSHAT CHAYEI SARAH
It is especially noteworthy that the opening theme of this parsha is the acquisition of a grave for Sarah, from
which we learn that a Jew is to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. This is followed immediately by the longest
chapter in the book of Bereishis (67 verses), dedicated to the acquisition of a bride for Yitzchak. Indeed, the
Talmud Kiddushin (2a) learns that since a plot was purchased with money, so too, is a wife acquired by mon-
ey. At first glance this might appear a bit offensive. Rav Hersh z"tl therefore teaches that Avraham did not just
pay for a grave; he spent an exorbitant amount of money. The message the chasan is sending to the kallah, is
that you are priceless and indeed worth all the money in the world to me. In addition, we see that the responsi-
bility of the husband to his wife is not only to support her in her lifetime, but he is responsible after her life as
well, to bury her. This is truly a commitment to binyan adei ad (an everlasting edifice)

Fall has officially arrived and the children have jumped right into learning about this colorful season. The Early Learners sorted leaves by color and played a matching game with different sized and colored leaves. They also made beautiful sun catchers and leaf rubbing prints. The Young Explorers enjoyed a “beautiFALL” nature walk where they collected acorns and leaves. They also painted leaves with water colors and experimented with Fall colors at the open easel. They made different colored trees on the bulletin board and enjoyed matching leaves to the same colored tree. The Infant -Toddlers also enjoyed Fall activities. They painted a tree with orange leaves and used pumpkin cookie cutters to make fun play dough creations. All of the classes had music with Morah Evelyn and sang their favorite Fall songs about pump-kins, acorns and leaves. Shabbat Shalom!
