I am still working on my swing at the driving range. 4:05pm Daf Yomi Library The good news is that I’m missing the ball less often. I also have no plans of giving up my day job. One of the things I’ve learned about golf is the importance of the follow-through on 4:20pm Rabbi Weinstock’s class. Topic: Who Was Main Sanctuary a swing. Good follow-through enables the golf ball to travel further and more accurately. Malachi? The same is true in baseball (something I know a little more about than golf). As a baseball 5:05pm Minchah Main Sanctuary coach, I would remind my players of the importance of follow- through: both when hitting the baseball, as well as when you’re running to first base. Follow-through is an important 5:05pm Teen Minchah Room 5 quality to have in life. A person without follow-through ends up being inconsistent and not dependable. When we examine Eisav’s persona, one trait that stands out is his lack of follow After Minchah Halacha Chaburah w/Rabbi Adam Frieberg Library -through No Gemara Shiur w/Rabbi Jonathan Hirsch If Eisav was such a bad guy, how could Yitzchak have loved him? Our point of departure is No Parsha Shiur w/Rabbi Yossi Jankovits the Torah itself, as it says at the beginning of Parshat Toldot: “Yitzchak loved Eisav Ki Immediately Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 5 min. class Library Tzayid B’fiv.” after Maariv According to the literal meaning of the words, Yitzchak loved Eisav because Eisav provided him with good meat. According to Midrash Tanchuma, Eisav tricked Yitzchak into loving Dvar Tefila him. The Midrash goes on to elaborate that Eisav would ask his father things that would “Teach them thoroughly to your children” make him look righteous, such as whether one needs to give tithes from salt. The question (from Shema, Artscroll Siddur pg. 414) still remains: How could Yitzchak have been fooled so easily? The Talmud (Shabbat 119b) teaches: “The world only exists because of the breath, i.e., reciting Torah, of schoolchildren. Rav Pappa said to Abaye: My Torah study and yours, There are two ways in which a person can be deceitful. A person can have an accurate sense what is its status? Why is the Torah study of adults worth less? He said to him: The breath of self but tries to fool others by not showing his or her true colors. Alternatively, a person of adults, which is tainted by sin, is not similar to the breath of children, which is not can take the deceit so far that they even deceive themselves. In this case it is much more tainted by sin. And Reish Lakish said in the name of Rabbi Yehuda Nesia: One may not difficult to spot the deception as the lines between truth and lies has been blurred. Eisav is interrupt schoolchildren from studying Torah, even in order to build the Temple.” The depicted as a person who began to believe his own lies. Medrash Rabba teaches that Eisav is Chofetz Chaim notes that from here we learn that the Torah learned by children is more symbolized by the pig. A pig has split hooves but does not chew its cud. The pig is precious than the Torah learned by the greatest of Sages, because the education of our described as always laying down with its hooves outstretched for everyone to see, as if to youth is the secret of Jewish survival. say, “look at me, I’m kosher.” Eisav’s ability to deceive even himself was what caused Yitzchak to be deceived as well. That’s why we started JEF, Jewish Education Fund, an initiative to provide financial support to our South Florida Alternatively, one can view Eisav as being sincere, yet his flaw was being terribly Jewish Day Schools. inconsistent. Our Rabbis teach that on the day that Eisav sold the birthright to Yaakov he violated five serious sins, among them “Kafar B’Ikar” denying the very existence of G-d. And thanks to your support, we have raised close to $650,000. And yet this does not prevent Yaakov from demanding that Eisav swear that his deal to buy the birthright is binding. It seems peculiar that Yaakov would accept Eisav’s oath in light of But our schools need our continued support. the grave sins that Eisav had recently committed. The Altar from Slobodka explains that And we need our schools which create community stability, Eisav’s problem was that he lacked any shred of consistency. He was capable of committing facilitate community growth, increase the value of our homes the worst of sins one moment, and then takes an oath and truly means what he says. and ultimately breed our leaders of the future. The Talmud in Sotah quotes the Midrash that Eisav’s head was buried in Me’rat Communal support is essential. Hamachpela with his righteous relatives.
