Toldos: How Esav Outsmarted Himselfhttps://youtu.be/vXs2NPHRTbY?si=yA7cQJeoq_AeF_8r
Bereishis 27: 22: הַקֹּל קוֹל יַעֲקֹב, וְהַיָּדַיִם, יְדֵי עֵשָׂו
1) Yitzchak was unsure who was in front of him for a blessing. Was it Yaakov or Esav ? The evidence was split 50/50, the hands were hairy like Esav, but he talked like Yaakov. Why did the wise Yitzchak let the hairy arms decide?2) R' Y.Z. Soloveitchik ztl in Bais Halevi Al HaTorah, shares an insightful analysis. CLICK ABOVE3) Ironically, in a somewhat similar situation in Parshas Vayeitze it was Yaakov who was successfully tricked. What can we learn from both stories? WATCH and LISTEN to learn.
