1. The Zohar tells us the significance of the verse “These are the years of Sara, 127,” that all her years were equally good, and that her years belonged to her – what is the connection?
  • All the stories of our forefathers and mothers are actually both lessons in life for us and empowerment (as we inherit their spiritual “prowess”) hence the lesson is, we have the ability to live, one hundred percent meaningful (complete) days, years, life.

2.a However some might counter, “I may have this capacity in the future, but not in the past? – however as, if you – from love (not fear) seek God, this retroactively fixes the past…”

3. This also explains the (bizarre) statement of the Tanya: that everyone can at any time be a Benoini (one who never has or will sin – for how can this be??) the answer is, because when we do Teshuva from love, it retroactively fixes all of our sins – and as Teshuvah is the most fundamental of all Mitzvos, therefore, it is a likewise inherently simple (for by nature we all seek Divinity – it is only the Yetzer Hara, that counteracts/distracts.)

4. Now Sara comes from the word Sirarah – Malchus – Kingship – but because Malchus is related, to God, therefore, she has a humble joy (for joy that lacks humility, can lead to arrogance.)

5. Because Teshuva goes higher than time – therefore when we do Teshuva, we manifest the infinite in the finite.

6. Ultimately, because God is infinite, and gives us the power – we have the ability to be both joyous and humble.
