Chayei Sara “The Life of Sara” חַיֵּי שָֹרָה Genesis 23:1-25:18, is the 5th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading beginning after Rosh Ha Shana, the Jewish New Year.
In Chai Sara Abraham successfully negotiates paying the full price for a burial plot for Abraham's family at the cave of Machpelah where he buries Sara.
Then he turns his attention to finding a suitable wife for his son Isaac among his relatives in Aram Naharaim.
He sends his servant Eliezer to his brother, Nahor. On arrival, Rebecca is at a well where he stops to water his camels and she offers him a place to stay with her family.
After meeting Nahor and some formalities, Eliezer returns to Canaan with Rebecca, who becomes Isaac's wife.
Abraham remarries, has more children, and dies at the age of 175.
