<p>Our Parsha features two very different twins. After decades of infertility, Isaac and Rebecca are blessed with twins, <span style="font-size: 1rem;"> </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">identical twins the Sages emphasize, who could not be more different:</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> Jacob dwelled in the ten</span>ts of Torah, eventually becoming the third and final Patriarch of our nation, and Esav was a man of the field, a trapper, a hunter, a blood shedder who stands in the way of Jacob, impeding him at every turn. Why did Esav go awry? Why did the son of Isaac and Rebecca end up as he did? In this episode of the Parsha Podcast we explore some threads and angles to this question and emerge with a foundational principle that can help us design a life to perfection.</p> <p>– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –</p> <p><a href="https://www.torchweb.org/support.php"><strong>DONATE:</strong></a> Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at <a href="https://www.torchweb.org/support.php">https://www.torchweb.org/support.php</a>.
