Parshas Chayei Sara (5766)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

The small “chaf” expressing Avraham’s limited grief at Sara’s eulogy was due to the fact that she lived a long, full life.  What would be objectionable if Avraham had an over expression of grief over the passing of his lifelong marriage partner?  We see that the issue of inappropriate abundance of grief is a matter which must be controlled considering that we are the recipients of marvelous, constant blessings from Hashem.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
