Torah Café brings you a segment with Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, expert on Jewish Mysticism, in which he discusses the concept of life-span in Jewish tradition.
He expounds on the meaning behind the number of years in the lives of the patriarchs and matriarchs, whose lives were considered to have achieved a level of perfection. Rabbi Ginsburgh focuses particularly on the life span of Sarah, our foremother, who lived 127 years.
