commemorated is the person\u2019s will to keep forever the remembrance of his dear one.\u00a0 Dealing with the separation from a member of the family is difficult and painful.\u00a0 Commemoration is your important contribution that help one deal with it.\u00a0 According to Jewish tradition, the departed one\u2019s soul is connected to this world, especially to us the family members, also after death.\u00a0<\/p><p>Therefore, make sure to maintain the connection with the soul with spiritual means that are expressed in our world as good deeds that are done on behalf of the soul, for the ascension of the soul, to a better place in the Garden of Eden.\u00a0 As such, for example, we see to it to make a special prayer on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, and other holidays, the <strong>\u201cYizkor\u201d<\/strong>, when we mention the names of the departed ones and we pray on their behalf as well as pledging charity for them after the holiday.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Lubavitcher Rebbe writes in one of his holy letters (volume 15, p. 379), \u201cThe matter is simple, based on faith, and even intellectually, <strong>that the soul is eternal, especially the soul of a Jew, <\/strong>whish is a divine part of the One Above, literally.<\/p><p>From this it\u2019s also understood, that the soul always yearns to ascend, and while it\u2019s in a material body in this world, it\u2019s within its reach by practicing Torah and mitzvot to ascend to a higher level.\u00a0 However, when the soul leaves the body, it can\u2019t be done by the person, but only by those that want good for the soul, to do in the merit of the soul, by others adding in the doing and practice of Torah and mitzvot in the merit of the soul.\u00a0 In order for Torah study and the performance of the mitzvot to be done right, one must definitely be happy and with gladness of heart, for we merit doing the will of the Giver of the Torah, as well as meriting to cause the soul to ascend to a higher level.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>\u201cThe soul lives and exists<\/strong> and one can accomplish a lot on its behalf, and one must be happy for being given this ability; sadness, Heaven forefend, or even bitterness, is an indication of weakness of faith to inspire the soul.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>As per the verse in the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 7, verse 2, <strong>\u201cAnd the living will give to his heart\u201d<\/strong>, the Rebbe explains that the impact our good deeds have in honor of the departed soul, <strong>comes back at us<\/strong>, thereby affording us blessings and good luck that we deserve from Heaven as a result.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

his reaction of the \u201cliving\u201d on the demise of a Jew; to contemplate about the purpose of life in a general sense, and in a more specific sense \u2013 to learn from the good deeds of the departed one and to implement them.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is, in actuality, the true commemoration of the departed one that causes us to be objective and to do good deeds, thereby continuing in their footsteps in our world, and by doing so, we will also continue to remember our dear one and to commemorate him in our midst.\u00a0 Acting in this spirit causes the soul satisfaction in the supernal

data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2281\"><p>The entire Torah portion of Chayei Sarah in the book of Genesis (chapter 23, verse 1) deals with things that happened after our matriarch Sarah\u2019s demise:\u00a0 The purchase of the Miarat Hamachpeila in order to bury her, Yitzchak\u2019s marriage to Rivkah, when he is comforted after his mother\u2019s death.\u00a0 At the end of the Torah portion, the Torah discusses Abraham\u2019s marriage to Keturah (Hagar) and about Yishmael\u2019s children.\u00a0 As such, a great wonder arises as to the name of the Torah portion <strong>\u201cChayei Sarah\u201d<\/strong>, contrary to the contents of the Torah portion, because it\u2019s known the name of the Torah portion is of the ultimate preciseness.\u00a0 Therefore, we must say that there exists a deep connection between the contents of the Torah portion and the true essence of \u201cChayei Sarah\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>The nature of life<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>True life is eternal.\u00a0 Life doesn\u2019t finish at death, but continues and is expressed with the person\u2019s descendants and what happens as life goes on afterwards in the world.\u00a0 From this aspect, what takes place after death testifies as to the nature of life, as thusly the true essence of man is measured.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our Sages said, \u201cOur forefather Jacob didn\u2019t die\u201d, meaning that just as his children are alive, so too is he alive.\u201d\u00a0 In other words, <strong>when his children follow in his footsteps and paths, then we know that he is also alive.\u201d\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><p>As such, precisely in our Torah portion that relate the events that took place after Saraha\u2019s demise, we see the eternality of her life.\u00a0 We see Rivkah, who continues in the way of Sarah (as the verse says, \u201cAnd Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah\u2019s tent,\u201d to which Rashi explains, \u201cAnd behold she is Sarah his mother\u201d) and causes the renewal of the 3 miracles that took place in her days.\u00a0<\/p><p>Furthermore, all of the events that took place in the Torah portion teach us that Sarah\u2019s way is what eternalized her.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Sarah and Abraham <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Here we have to distinguish between Sarah and Abraham.\u00a0 Sarah was only Isaac\u2019s mother.\u00a0 Since his birth, she desired that the divine flow be diverted to Isaac, for he represents holiness.\u00a0 In contrast, Abraham was the father of other nations (Yishmael and the children of Ketura (Hagar)) and he gave whatever he had to all of his children.\u00a0 Sarah wanted to banish \u201cthe son of the servant\u201d, but Abraham was troubled over the matter and also prayed for Yishmael.\u00a0<\/p><p>The events that are related in our Torah portion precisely testify as to the righteousness of the way of Sarah.\u00a0 The Torah portion begins with the story of the Miorat Hamachpeila.\u00a0 Originally, the cave was the burial site of Adam and Eve, the parents of the entire human race.\u00a0 We see here that Abraham purchases the cave for Sarah\u2019s burial, yet in actuality that only the patriarchs and matriarchs\u00a0 of the Jewish nation are buried there as per Sarah\u2019s aspiration, who requested to divert the divine flow only to her son Isaac.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>In due course \u2013 the Jewish nation <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>In addition, the second event, Eliezer\u2019s mission.\u00a0 Regarding Eliezer, Abraham\u2019s most important student, it says that \u201che would draw and give to drink from the teachings of his master\u201d.\u00a0 He also merited many miracles.\u00a0 Still, when he asked Abraham that Isaac his son marry his daughter, he was turned down, to which Abraham answered, \u201cMy son is blessed and you are cursed; the cursed doesn\u2019t cling to the blessed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>The end of the Torah portion also proves this point.\u00a0 The Torah says that \u201cAbraham gave everything he had to Isaac.\u201d\u00a0 But to his concubines he gave presents and sent them away from Isaac his son.\u00a0 Thusly the Torah portion attests to the righteous way of Sarah our matriarch, who saw continuity specifically with her son Isaac and requested that the divine flow be diverted to him. Therefore the Torah portion is called \u201cChayei Sarah\u201d, because specifically through her do we reveal the eternality and righteousness of her life.\u00a0<\/p><p>(From the Lubavitcher Rebbe, taken from the book \u201cShulchan Shabbat\u201d and adapter from \u201cLikutei Sichot, volume 15, page 145).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7301007 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7301007\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8cac4b4\" data-id=\"8cac4b4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ecc1b8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ecc1b8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-87b59e6\" data-id=\"87b59e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-035f4f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"035f4f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-21037d72 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"21037d72\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35d8d9b1\" data-id=\"35d8d9b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cc5f0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3cc5f0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why do we light a candle in memory of the deceased?
