T he holy Torah is telling us that Sara Imeinu was a beautiful woman. Similarly we find that the Gemara (Megillah 15a) states that there were four beautiful women in the world and Sara was one of them. The Torah also states that Rivkah and Rochel were beautiful.
One can wonder why the Torah is giving importance to something so superficial. As it says in Mishlei (31:30): “Grace is false and beauty is worthless.” So why praise it? (Rav Shimshon Pincus Tiferes Shimshon)
“Take a look at this one Ma. It’s hysterical!”
“Can you tell the diff? Totally not!”
I sat scrolling through pictures on my daughter’s camera. My girls had just come back from a whirlwind two-day trip to London which included a tour of the famous Madame Tussauds wax museum.
