Podcasts about eisav

Although the reason for Eisav's hatred towards Yaakov seems to have been resolved, the enmity nonetheless continues...

In this shiur, delivered in Tomer Devorah, Rav Burg explains how the story of Yaakov battling the Malach of Eisav reveals the psychology of true transformation.

In this episode, we are joined with Rabbi Daniel Rowe to unpack one of the most sensitive and misunderstood subjects in Torah: our ongoing relationship with Eisav and Yishmael. Are they eternal enemies, potential partners, or something more complex? Building on the theme from “Becoming a Nation of Priests” with Rabbi Yaakov Klein, Rabbi Rowe traces how the Torah and Chazal frame these two great civilizations as spiritual “cousins” whose roles are woven into creation itself. We explore how Christianity and Islam shifted the world from pagan cruelty toward a more Noahide, God-centered morality, why Jews are both uniquely loved and uniquely hated, and how antisemitism often masks a warped expectation that we live up to our mission. If you've ever wondered how to make sense of global events, Jewish destiny, and our role within these ancient relationships, this conversation will give you a framework that changes the way you see history and the present moment.Continue learning from Rabbi Daniel Rowe.·         You can follow his shiurim and lectures on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RabbiDanielRowe·         And stay connected to his ongoing Torah thoughts on Instagram: instagram.com/rabbidanielroweJoin the Conversation! Be part of our growing community—join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp group to share feedback, discuss episodes, and suggest future topics.

Freeing Your Soul & Releasing Your Inner Trapped Sparks. Yitzchak, Eisav & Yaakov. Torah Ohr, Toldos

Rashi (Bereishis 27:15) tells us that Yaakov wore the clothing that Eisav took from Nimrod. The Gemara in Psachim 54b says that these clothing originally belonged to Adam Ha‘Rishon and were created at Bein Hashmashos on Erev Shabbos.

Why did Yaakov make Eisav swear on the sale of the Bechoros? Would Eisav honor an oath more than he worried about other Aveiros? How could Eisav sell his Bechoros, can one sell something intangible, does it work halachically?  Why did Yaakov give Eisav bread when he only asked for lentils?Trying a type of Yeshivisha style this week that I haven't done before.Hope you enjoy.Have a Good Shabbos

BHDon't be "superficial" like Eisav. Get "deep down" like Yaakov

In this shiur, delivered in Tomer Devorah, Rav Burg explains why Yitzchak loved Eisav. The hunter is always hunting new game. When Yaakov combines the power of new with the power of old he becomes worthy of the berachos of Yitzchak.

Maharal Netzach Yisroel Chapter 15 Part 2 (The battle of Yaakov vs. Eisav) by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

Parshat Toldos is not just the story of two brothers. It's a blueprint of history, and a mirror of the times we're living through right now. The Torah tells us that even before Yaakov and Eisav were born, they were already struggling inside their mother. This was the very first expression of two completely different ways of looking at existence. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

When You Grasp the Dynamics of Your Two Souls, You Liberate Yourself from ShameThis class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Tuesday, 27 Cheshvan, 5786, November 18, 2025, Parshas Toldos, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9813

In this shmooze, delivered at a Melava Malka Fabrengen in the Kornwasser home, Rav Burg explains how Yitzchak and Rivka loved Eisav as only a parent could. In our lives we need to see ourselves with kindness and compassion just as Yitzchak and Rivka did for Eisav.

Why would Eisav want to tithe salt? Everyone knows it's exempt.

Rabbi Feiner shiurim

We should try to go above and beyond our minimum duty,& infuse the mitzvos with beauty!To show how far kavod goes,Eisav only served Yitzchak in royal clothes!

BH The time has come to conquer Eisav!

Rashi (Bereishis 32:23) says that Yaakov hid Dinah in a box to prevent Eisav from taking her. He was therefore punished with Dinah being raped by Shechem. This episode discusses the following questions and more: 1) Would it really have been a good idea to use Dinah to bring Eisav to Torah? 2) Why was this appropriate punishment for Yaakov? 3) Where's the justice to Dinah?

Rabbi Feiner shiurim

Eisav was coming with 400 men. How did Yaakov Avinu fall asleep that night?

In this shiur, delivered at the Young Israel of New Rochelle Mishmar, Rav Burg explores Yaakov Avinu's psychological state after surviving Lavan and how he struggles with his inner Eisav to prepare for the battle ahead.

In this week's episode Sara and Danny explore the enigmatic episode of Jacob's epic battle with Eisav-- and they bring out practical life insights. Some of these ideas were based on lessons from Rabbi Shmuel Silber and others. Enjoy this insightful analysis of Parshas Vayishlach.

Rabbi Feiner shiurim

Chanukah is almost upon us! We begin our Chanukah journey this year with a deep dive in to the fight between Yaakov and the Angel of Eisav. The hit in the hip reveals all!

Chag Hageulah - Yud Kislev (27:12)

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explains the difference between how Eisav raises his children in resentment and Yosef raises his children to let go of their trauma and find greatness in their struggles.

You Must Know How to Respond to the Voices in Your Head Trying to Detach You - Weekly Women's Class: This class was presented on Tuesday, 9 Kislev, 5785, December 10, 2024, Parshas Vayishlach, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9515

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: How should we react to the horrific murder of R' Zvi Kogan hy”d? What are its deeper implications? Is this a sign of a widening war against Jews? Should we be afraid? How are we to understand Iran's extreme hostility and hatred toward Israel and Jews? If we defeated the Persians on Purim, why do we still need to contend with Iran? Can we interpret the Yalkut Shemoni as referring to today's events? Would it be correct to say that the current Iranian regime, established in 1979, is like an alter ego (le'umas zeh) of Chabad, l'havdil elef havdolos? Is evil a creation or only the absence of good? Why do we need evil, especially extreme evil? How do we explain why we are challenged today to face rising crime and terrorism? How does the Rebbe Rashab explain why saying amen yehei shmei rabba with all our might eliminates negative decrees? What do we learn from Parshas Toldos? What can we learn from the Baal HaTurim explaining the connection between the end of last week's portion and the beginning of this week's? What is the central theme of this Torah portion? Why did Rivkah not try to intervene after hearing that she was carrying the wicked Esau in her womb? How could Eisav legally sell his birthright, and how could his blessings be “stolen”? Should I attend a family Thanksgiving turkey dinner?

Parshat Vayetzei Erasing all your aveiros! (Even Eisav) Torah from the ghetto doesn't work in the shmutz! Can the younger sibling get married before the older!?!?

This one gets heavy. We begin with the background of Yaakov & Eisav , but quickly become aware that there is more than meets the eye in their incredible story. -WARNING-This one gets pretty emotional at the end as it finds its climax in the enormous power of Leah's tears. 

After Yaakov expressed concern that Yitzchak would feel him and notice he wasn't Eisav, why didn't Rivka immediately tell Yaakov her plan of putting hairy skins on his arms and neck? And what did she tell him?

Rashi (Breishis 25:26) tells us that Yaakov was grabbing Eisav's heel while emerging from the womb because he was trying to take the bechora that rightfully belonged to him. This episode analyzes this strange midrash and other pesukim/Rashi's that discuss the meaning(s) of the name “Yaakov.”

In this episode Menachem explores the jewish idea of meaningful feasts (and the American tradition of a Thanksgiving Feast) and how that correlates to the story of Yitzchak Avinu in specific his relationship to Eisav...  Sign Up for our Newsletter!!

The story of Yaakov and Eisav reveals the tragic nature of the loss of a great potential reality

HaRav Nosson Nusbaum recounts the story of Yaakov and Eisav, and shares some very interesting nekudos, which shed light on their complicated relationship.

Was Eisav good or bad? He married a good woman, but didn't leave the bad ones...Yitzchak was intent on the good side of Eisav wanting to bless him, how do we navigate the mixture of good and bad and sometimes the hypocrisy in it? What about when I think something is good but perhaps its actually not? Learn the Sicha and hear what the Rebbe has to say :) Chelek Lamed Hay, page 131
