Eishet Chayil – A Woman of Valor

Eishet Chayil “A Woman of Valor” is usually read at a funeral for a woman.  These verses, from the Book of Proverbs 31:10-31 describe King Solomon’s praise of a God-fearing woman who constantly looked out for the good of her family. Some commentators say that Abraham composed these verses when he eulogized his wife Sarah.
