Anash.org is pleased to bring you a curated selection of audio shiurim on Parshas Toldos.
Ya’akov and Eisov
Why did Yitzhcok favor Eisov, despite him being a rosho?
Listen to a summary of what chassidus explains about this, delivered by Rabbi Berel Bell, rov of Anash Montreal.
The Twofold Blessing
Addressing his son Yaakov, he said: “And may Hashem give you from the dew of the heavens and the fat of the earth.” Quoting the words “And may Hashem give you,” Rashi explains, “He will give, and give again.”
But why would Hashem need to give something twice? If He gives a blessing, it surely does not lack anything. Why the need to give a second time?
Listen to a summary of a Sicha on this topic, delivered in Yiddish by Reb Yoel Kahn.
