WWII was not adequately studied by my generation given what I'm seeing online. I thought everyone grew up learning about it.
Was I the only one who lived on the Audie Murphy movie "To Hell and Back"?
Or watched dozens of documentaries on the invasion of Normandy?
Or grieved when reading Corrie Ten Boom's first hand account of the nazis search for their hidden Jews in the false wall of their home and the death of her beloved sister in the concentration camp?
Rhy Bezuidenhout happy birthday!

Sarah died in Hebron, which means "companionship" or "heart". A fitting location for Abraham to lose his lifelong best friend. #genesis 23:2 says that Abraham "mourned" and "wept" for Sarah. Mourning implies formal ritual, while weeping implies personal grief. Was the timing of her death (immediately after the binding of Isaac) an additional test of Abraham, to see if he would repudiate the binding of Isaac?
The word for "wept" has a small-sized letter kaf (originally a pictogram of a hand), perhaps indicating Abraham's diminished strength without Sarah. Abraham lived large in God's plan until Sarah died. Then he faded away.
