The Weekly Parsha

Sedrah Selections – Selections

by Zvi Akiva Fleisher

Ch. 25, v. 22: “Va’yisrotzatzu habonim b’kirboh” — The Tur Ho’oruch explains that they jostled each other because Eisov was fully developed (Esov = Osuy, completed) with growth of hair and this caused Yaakov to be very itchy.

Ch. 25, v. 23: “Ul’ome mil’ome ye’emotz” — And one nation over the other nation will dominate — Rashi says that the two nations represented by Yaakov and Eisov cannot both be on top. When one elevates itself the other falls. Note the order mentioned in Rashi. Had he said that when one falls the other rises, we may conclude that it is out of our control to gain mastery, as Eisov must act in a way that he lowers himself, and as a result we go upwards, like a seesaw. However, Rashi says that when one rises the other falls. This teaches us that we are in control of the situation. We are always able to elevate ourselves, and as a result Eisov will fall. (Rabbi Mordechai Chaim of Slonim)

Ch. 25, v. 34: “Va’yi’vez Eisov es habchoroh” — The word “va’yi’vez” also appears in Megilas Esther 3:6, “Va’yi’vez b’einov lishloach yod b’Mordochai l’vado.” The Rokei’ach says that we have an allusion to Homon the descendant of Eisov a bit earlier in this incident in verse 30, where it says “Hali’teini Noh Min,” whose first letters spell HoMoN. Just as Yaakov wrested the birthright from Eisov’s possession by feeding him, so also Esther learned from this to invite Homon to her meal to wrest his prominent position away from him. She decided to do this on Pesach just as Yitzchok had a meal on Pesach during which Yaakov received the brochos instead of Eisov.

Ch. 27, v. 15: “Eisov bnoh haGODOL … Yaakov bnoh haKOTON” — Many explanations are offered for this verse pointing out that Eisov was Rivkoh’s BIG son and Yaakov her SMALL son. The Psikta Rabosi 15:20 says that Eisov the BIG one calculates his dates by the BIG one, the sun, while Yaakov the SMALL one calculates his dates by the SMALL one, the moon. Why is this being pointed out here? Perhaps it is because Yaakov is about to receive blessings from Yitzchok. We find in the following verses that Yaakov’s receiving the blessings is contingent upon his good behaviour (verses 22 and 40 as interpreted by Chazal). Eisov receives his blessing without conditions on his behaviour. Perhaps this is why by Yaakov it says “V’yi’tein l’cho hoELOKIM,” to

indicate that there is judgement, while by Eisov no mention of Elokim is mentioned. The steady bounty for Eisov is symbolized by the sun, which is always the same size. Yaakov’s blessing will have its ups and downs as the spiritual level of the bnei Yisroel will unfortunately not always be exemplary. Hence he is symbolized by the moon, which waxes and wanes. At the end of days the bnei Yisroel will merit, “V’hoyoh or halvonoh k’or hachamoh” (Yeshayohu 30:26), may it be speedily in our days.

Ch. 27, v. 21: “Ha’atoh zeh bni Eisov” — Are you my son Eisov — Yitzchok was a prophet. Hashem could simply have informed Yitzchok that it was His wish that Yitzchok bless Yaakov rather than Eisov. Why didn’t Hashem do so and we could have avoided all this impersonation, etc.? Had Hashem done this, Yitzchok would have wondered why his favoured son, whom he thought was extremely righteous, was relegated. He undoubtedly would have made a major investigation and found out the devastating news that Eisov was a charlatan, which would have hurt Yitzchok to the core. He would then not have been in a joyous frame of mind, and the blessing to Yaakov would have been greatly diminished. (Droshos hoRan)

Ch. 27, v. 25: “Va’ya’gesh lo va’yochal va’yo’vei lo yayin va’yeisht” — Targum Yonoson ben Uziel says that the wine Yaakov gave Yitzchok came from Gan Eden. The Baa’lei Tosfos say that the angel Micho’eil gave the wine to Yaakov. How do we see this from the verse? Possibly it can be derived from the change in wording from “va’ya’geish” by the matamim, and “va’yo’vei” by the wine. “Va’ya’geish,” and he brought close, indicates that it was there, just that it was distanced and now brought CLOSE. This was the case with the two goats, which were here in this world. However, the wine which came through the messenger Micho’eil was BROUGHT from another world, Gan Eden. Another possibility might be that it is indicated by the cantellation “meircho k’fuloh,” double “meircho,” on the word “lo,” to him. This indicates “to him” twice, once to Yaakov from the angel Michoel, and a second time to Yitzchok from Yaakov.

Ch. 27, v. 28: “V’yi’tein l’cho ho’Elokim” — Contrast this with the blessing of Eisov in verse 39, “Mishma’nei ho’oretz y’h’yeh mosho’vecho,” where Hashem’s name is not mentioned. The Sfas Emes says that the greatest aspect of the blessing Yaakov received was the awareness that it came from Hashem. Not so with Eisov. He is so shortsighted that all he sees is the objects he needs for his comforts, with Hashem taking no place in his life.

Ch. 27, v. 28: “V’rov dogon v’sirosh” — And an abundance of grain and wine — Grain

for bread is an absolutely necessary staple. Wine is a luxury. It is only when there is an abundance of wine that a person may indulge in wine, because there is also sufficient grain for the poor. When the poor don’t even have bread, then the wealthy should not indulge in wine. Rather, they should buy bread for those who cannot afford it. (Oznayim laTorah)

Ch. 27, v. 29: “V’yishtachavu l’cho bnei I’MECHO” — Rashi and Rashbam (M.R. 66:5) say that we find by Yehudoh’s blessing “V’yishtachavu l’cho bnei OVICHO” (Breishis 49:8). They answer that since Yitzchok had only one wife he said “bnei I’MECHO,” while Yaakov who had four wives said “bnei OVICHO.” Tosfos Hasho’leim adds that Yitzchok would have also said “bnei OVICHO” to forewarn the possibility that he might take another wife and have children with her, but he knew that he would not take another wife. However, he wasn’t sure that he would outlive Rivkoh, and if he were to die first there was the possibility that she would remarry and have more children. He therefore said “BNEI i’mecho,” your mothers SONS in plural form.

How was Yitzchok so sure that he would not take another wife? Perhaps it was because he was so old, or that he conclusively decided to not do so under any circumstances. Possibly there was a halachic reason that assured that he would not take another wife. The gemara Kidushin 41a says that one may not take a wife unless he sees her first. Since Yitzchok was blind he knew that he would not take another wife.

Ch. 25, v. 33: “Va’yimkor es b’choroso” — And he sold his primogeniture right — The Sforno says that the payment for the sale was not the food Yaakov gave Eisov. Rather, he sold it for an undisclosed amount of money. In the next verse he writes that the act of acquisition was through “kinyan chalipin,” either with the lentils or the dish. The Ramban disagrees with the Sforno, saying that the payment was the “n’zid adoshim” itself and not money.

Focus on Chesed

What is “Chesed”? by Rabbi Moshe Miller

(from askmoses.com)

Chesed simply means kindness. To do chesed means to do acts of

kindness such as visiting the sick, helping the poor or the needy and so on.

The Torah declares — “You shall go in His ways” (Deuteronomy 28:9). The

Rabbis interpret this as meaning: Just as the Holy One blessed be He is

called “Compassionate,” you should be compassionate; just as the Holy One

blessed be He is called “Gracious,” you should be gracious; just as the Holy

One blessed be He is called “Righteous” you should be righteous (Sifrei,

Ekev).

Similarly, you should emulate the attributes of God — just as He clothes

the naked, so should you; just as He visits the sick, so should you; just as

He consoles the bereaved, so should you (Talmud, Tractate Sotah 14a).

Acting in this way is listed as one of the 613 commandments of the Torah

(Maimonides, Sefer HaMitzvot positive commandments 8).
