Parsha
In this week’s parsha, one of the Malachim (angels) that visited Avrohom Avinu informs him that Sara Imeinu was going to have a son despite her advanced age. Sara overheard this prophesy and did not believe it. The Possuk says, “Now Avrohom and Sara were old, coming on in years; Sara had ceased to have the way of the women. Sarah laughed within herself, saying, ‘After I have become worn out, will I have smooth flesh…’” (Bereishis 18:11-12)
How could Sara, who was on an even greater level than Avrohom in regards to prophesy, deny the truth of the prophecy?...
