Run to Do a Mitzvah – Vayeira (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares towards the end of video, an analysis of Sarah Imenu laughing when hearing that she would have a child (Yitzchak) at 100 years old. Ramban says when she hear it from what she thought were desert wanderers she should have simply said “Amen” instead of cynically laughing. The morale of the story is that anything is possible for Hashem and although it may be unlikely for us we must say it is still possible no matter how remote something seems to be.
