Our Parsha begins with the passing of Sarah at 127 years old. Avraham negotiated with Ephron to buy a plot of land in Chevron, known as Mearas HaMachpelah for 400 shekels, to use as a family burial plot for the next generations.

When Avraham finished mourning for Sarah, he sent his most trusted servant, Eliezer, to find a wife for his son Yitzchak. He went to Charan and met Rivkah. When he found out that she was a great-niece of Avraham, he knew she would marry Yitzchak.

We learn why Avraham first eulogized Sarah and then cried for her.

We learn the power of a focused mindset.
