This Sunday - Don't Miss it!
Rabbi Dov, Rabbi Yishai, Zalmy, Avromi and Tzemach join me in wishing you Gut Shabbos from NY - we are at the largest family reunion joining 4,000 Chabad Rabbis and their sons for the international conference.
The highlight of the conference is when we gather at the Ohel of our beloved Rebbe of blessed memory, each of us representing our respective communities and friends. It is a time of celebration for the good, the blessings in our lives and simultaneously a time of prayerful reflection and seeking strength to overcome challenges - what a powerful moment! So much energy
in one space! I will be glad to include you in our prayers. Feel free to email rabbi@theshul.net, include your hebrew name and your mothers hebrew name as is customary when praying on someones behalf. May all our prayers be answered and may we merit to usher in a time of peace and blessing for all with the coming of
Moshiach. Amen.
Rabbi Kasriel Shemtov

Parshat Toldot
Isaac and Rebecca
endure twenty childless years, until their prayers are answered and Rebecca conceives. She experiences a difficult
pregnancy as the “children struggle inside her”; G‑d tells her that “there are two
nations in your womb,” and that the younger will prevail over the elder.
Esau emerges first; Jacob
is born clutching Esau’s heel. Esau grows up to be “a cunning
hunter, a man of the field”; Jacob is “a wholesome man,” a dweller in the tents
of learning. Isaac favors Esau; Rebecca loves Jacob. Returning exhausted and hungry from the hunt one day, Esau sells his birthright (his rights as the firstborn) to Jacob for a pot of red
lentil stew.
In Gerar, in the land of the Philistines, Isaac presents Rebecca as his sister, out of fear that he will be killed by someone coveting her beauty. He farms
the land, reopens the wells dug by his father Abraham, and digs a series of his own wells: over the first two there is strife with the Philistines, but the waters of the
third well are enjoyed in tranquility.
Esau marries two Hittite women. Isaac grows old and blind, and expresses his desire to bless Esau before he dies. While Esau goes off to hunt for his father’s favorite food, Rebecca dresses Jacob
in Esau’s clothes, covers his arms and neck with goatskins to simulate the feel of his hairier brother, prepares a similar dish, and sends Jacob to his father. Jacob receives his father’s blessings for “the dew
of the heaven and the fat of the land” and mastery over his brother. When Esau returns and the deception is revealed, all Isaac
can do for his weeping son is to predict that he will live by his sword, and that when Jacob falters, the younger brother will forfeit his supremacy over the elder.
Jacob leaves home for Charan to flee Esau’s wrath and to find a wife in the family of his mother’s brother, Laban.
Esau marries a third wife— Machalath, the daughter of Ishmael. |
