Parshas Vayishlach (5765)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

In our parsha we have one of the most outstanding, monumental events; the historical rendezvous between Yakov and Eisav.  Contrary to the very calculated intentions of Eisav, Yaakov successfully defused and neutralized the whole destructive agenda.  Despite its glaring success, Yaakov doesn’t escape the scrutiny of Chazal, the truth of the Torah and was criticized for not sufficiently verifying that his actions were the true will of Hashem, and completely appropriate.  What a lesson of the extreme necessity and importance to constantly confirm that all our actions are daas Torah and the true Will of Hashem.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Many find it difficult dealing with the phenomenon that Yaakov didn’t sleep for the 14 years that he attended the Yeshiva of Shem and attempt various interpretations.  Our whole existence is based on the promise Hashem made to Avraham that we are above the stars and no longer subjected to the conventional laws of nature with which Hashem runs the world.  Our very existence stems from women, who according to the laws of nature, were totally incapable of child-bearing.  Until this very day every facet of our existence is above “teva”.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

There is a puzzling Chazal in our Medrash that relates that Yitzchok was called Avraham.  One explanation might be that even though Yitzchok had his unique characteristics he also had the attributes of Avraham.  How inspiring!  WE all have many attributes in our arsenal of characteristics that we have the potential to access and light up the world with.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

To many it seems so sad that the news of Akeidas Yitzchok caused the passing away of Sara Imainu.  However, it was the concern over the future of Clal Yisroel that really disturbed her.  This means that in her petirah she was serving Hashem in a very high form; what a zchus.

When some unpleasantness is destined for us, chas v’shalom, it is the greatest gift from Heaven to be able to fulfill it in the service of Hashem.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
