[Avodah] Vay'chi WE ARE ALL ALIVE!

[Cantor Wolberg]

Next week's Torah reading is named Vay'chi — “And he lived” — although  
it speaks of Yaakov’s death.
As the events of the reading demonstrate, Yaakov’s life was one of  
connection to God that transcended
material settings. And since he shared this quality with his  
descendants, it was perpetuated beyond his mortal lifetime.
As our Sages say: “Yaakov, our ancestor, did not die. As his  
descendants are alive, he is alive.”
