As we benefit from a closer look at the stories in scripture of the women and men who came before us, we see a sharper focus on relationships in our own day.
In that sense, Vanessa Ochs edifies us with her new book – ‘Sarah Laughed’.
Having read the story of Abraham and Sarah, we remember that Sarah laughed when she heard the messengers from God announce that she would conceive and bring forth a child next year. How could this be, Sara thought?
Ochs proceeds to offer a modern Midrash from her perspective that yields a new insight into the mind of Sarah and Abraham.
The stories are replete with wisdom; the Midrash offers new potential for meaning in our contemporary situation.
