VALUABLE CURRENCY

The Talmud (Bava Kamma 97b) writes that the coinage of Avraham had an elderly couple on one side and a young couple on the other.

The Maharsha understands that both images represented Avraham and Sarah, one as a young couple and one from their more advanced age. Rabbi Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg z"l (Lifrakim, p. 375) elaborates that the image of coins symbolizes an important aspect about of their spiritual greatness. Avraham and Sarah simultaneously possessed – like flip sides of the same coin – the energy and enthusiasm of a younger person along with the maturity and thoughtfulness of an older person. They lived lives where youthfulness wasn't an age, rather an attitude.

Rabbi Soloveitchik writes: "The child is endowed with a capacity of an all-absorbing faith and trustfulness; youth bursts with zealousness, idealism and optimism; the adult, mellowed with years, has the benefit of accumulated knowledge and dispassionate judgment.”

One of our challenges is not to become dulled with age, rather retain the vitality, curiosity and fascination of a young child. We must seek out and pave new avenues of inspiration. If we can synthesize the respective strengths of all stages of our lives we will truly be exemplifying the holy ways of the power couple, Avraham and Sarah.

Wishing you all a wonderful Shabbos!

Rabbi David Claman
