Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha “Vayishlach,” Genesis 32:4 through chapter 36) the story of Yakov/Jacob as he finally returns to Beit El, and a ‘reunion’ with his estranged brother, Esau. The Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/SSM-12-5-25-Vayishlach-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 That story has lessons enough, but there is an extended genealogy of Esau’s side of the family that might seem out of place, given the reminder that “Yakov I have loved, Esau I have hated,” says YHVH. And there are certainly a number of prophecies – arguably yet to be fulfilled – about the ultimate demise of the descendants of that line. So who, or what, is Esau? As Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa documents in the midrash, there are no shortages of opinions on that score. But we have certainly been warned.

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Moving On: Finding the Courage to Keep Going, Part 2Series: O Little Town of Bethlehem Scripture: Genesis 35:16-32 Episode: 899 Scripture Summary: In Genesis 35:16–32, Jacob and his family travel from Bethel toward Ephrath (Bethlehem), where Rachel goes into difficult labor and dies giving birth to Benjamin. Before her death, she names the child Ben-Oni ("son of my sorrow"), but Jacob renames him Benjamin ("son of my right hand"). Rachel is buried near Bethlehem, and Jacob sets up a pillar to mark her grave. The passage also notes that Reuben, Jacob's eldest son, sleeps with Bilhah, Jacob's concubine, which deeply dishonors his father. The chapter concludes by listing Jacob's twelve sons and the death of Isaac at 180 years old. He is buried by his sons, Esau and Jacob. Key themes include: loss and grief, birth through sorrow, family tension, and the continuation of God's covenant line through Jacob's sons.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (12/03/25), Hank talks about what happened as a result of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.Hank also answers the following questions:Why is it ok to test God in Malachi 3:10, but not in Matthew 4? Jason - IL (5:25)What's your view of Francis Collins and theistic evolution? Jody - OK (15:13)Are Gog and Magog in Revelation literal nations?

Parshas Toldos is the ultimate masterclass in parenting, love, perseverance, and the eternal tug-of-war between heaven and earth. When Rivka feels her twins fighting in the womb, she is terrified that she is carrying one confused child who is pulled toward both holiness and idolatry. The prophet calms her with the shocking news: “Shnei goyim b'vitnech – two nations are in your womb.” Instead of despairing, she is relieved. Why? Because, as Rabbi Wolbe explains, “the benefit and greatness of Yaakov is so immense that it will supersede all the negative that she will ever experience from Esav.” One pure Yaakov is worth more than all the damage a thousand Esavs can do.The Torah then paints a seemingly troubling picture: “Isaac loved Esav because he put game in his mouth, but Rivka loved Yaakov.” How can holy parents play favorites? The answer redefines love itself: “Love is not finding similarities — love is seeing the potential in the other person and connecting to that.” Isaac gazed at wild, powerful Esav and thought, “If this explosive energy is ever channeled for good, he could move mountains.” Rivka looked at quiet, tent-dwelling Yaakov and saw pure, undiluted holiness already shining. Both parents loved both sons — they simply poured their energy into the child whose hidden potential moved them the most. This becomes the model for all healthy parenting and marriage: every child is your favorite — favorite scholar, favorite artist, favorite comedian, favorite mensch — because “each one is uniquely different… you're not comparing apples to apples, you're comparing apples to oranges to bananas.”For 63 long years Yaakov lives in his wicked brother's shadow. Esav hunts, flatters, and cleverly asks questions like “How do you tithe salt?” just to appear pious and win Isaac's heart. Yaakov, meanwhile, clings only to the “heel” of spirituality — always second place, always doubting, always wondering, “Maybe my father is right and I'm wrong.” Yet he never once compromises. At 63 he finally cooks the lentil stew that wins the blessings, proving that “spiritual growth is always at the heel — slow, painful, and full of doubt — but the tzaddik never quits.” As Rabbi Wolbe powerfully declares: “Quitters always finish first. If you want to win, you can't quit — ever.” And again: “The natural state of a tzaddik is to fall seven times… but the falling is not what we emphasize — it's the getting back up.”The parsha ends with two beautiful side lessons. First, Eliezer (from the cursed lineage of Canaan) is rejected as a match for Isaac, yet when he remains loyally devoted to Avraham despite the insult, Hashem rewards him with kfitzas haderech — miraculous instant travel reserved only for the righteous. Loyalty and perseverance turn even a “cursed” person into a tzaddik. Second, the same dynamic of “investing in the child who needs it most” repeats with Yaakov and Yosef: Yaakov favors Yosef not out of nepotism, but because he sees the unimaginable trials awaiting him in Egypt and knows, “This one is going to need extra love to survive and triumph.”_____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 25, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 3, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Jeff Dale and R. Marcus Rubenstein's words from Shabbat morning services on November 22nd, 2025 at Temple of Aaron celebrating and honoring our veterans on parshat Toldot.

Why didn't Jacob send messengers to his father Yitzchak? Instead of to Esau?https://thechesedfund.com/rabbikatz/support-rabbi-katzz-podcast

Jacob and Esau last saw each other 34 years prior. 34 years ago, Jacob, upon the explicit and prophetically inspired instruction of his mother, usurped the blessings reserved for Esau. Esau was piping mad, and sought vengeance. He wanted to kill his own brother. Jacob fled. After spending 14 years in the academy and 20 […]

This episode explores how our words of Torah, prayer, and intention become “messengers” that protect and guide us when we face our inner Esau, the parts of us that pull us off our path. Drawing on Siach Chayyim, we look at Jacob's strategy of splitting into “two camps” of awe and love as a model for spiritual resilience, and with Or HaMeir we dive into Peniel as the practice of seeing the Divine “face within the face” in every situation. Together, these teachings frame our daily work as lifting scattered sparks of presence and finding healing not by erasing our limp, but by carrying our wounds with conscious awareness.

To earn the connection to the Light of Infinity, each of us must wage our own internal battle between Esau - the evil inclination, and Jacob - the good inclination. To win the battle, it takes a lot of cunning and resourcefulness, prayer, and good deeds. We can use Angels on the way for our goal. Here we learn how the desire for conquest and power can be used to bring about the coming of the Messiah and redemption.

Title: Pursuit of HappinessSpeaker: Pastor Anthony BreretonDate: 30th November 2025Location: Ireland, UK This episode explores the contrast between temporary pleasure and the lasting joy that comes from walking with God. Drawing from Solomon’s reflections in Ecclesiastes, the message highlights how abundance, success, and entertainment never truly satisfy, even in a world overflowing with options and distractions. The pursuit of “more” is exposed as empty when compared with the contentment found in the Lord. The talk moves through biblical examples—from Esau trading his birthright, to Moses refusing the pleasures of Egypt, to the deliverance of Israel in Esther’s day—to show how temporary desires can derail long-term spiritual purpose. At the heart of the message is the reminder that God offers something deeper than pleasure: a joy that produces peace, strength, and true contentment. The episode concludes by emphasising that God delights in His people and calls them to build their lives around His joy rather than the world’s distractions. Joy is not a fleeting feeling but an inner work of the Spirit—something the world cannot replicate and nothing material can replace. Key Takeaways True joy is internal and lasting, while pleasure is external and temporary. The pursuit of happiness often distracts from God’s purpose and produces discontent. God’s joy becomes strength, peace, and stability for those who walk in His ways. Scripture References Ecclesiastes 2 Hebrews 11:25; Hebrews 12:1–2, 15 Esther 9 Zechariah 8:3–5 Psalm 37:11–13 Nehemiah 8 Luke 15 Philippians 4:1, 4 1 Timothy 6:6–12 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

Many people believe forgiveness must lead to reconciliation, but those who hurt us can't always heal us. Colossians 3:12–14 urges us to forgive as the Lord forgave us, making forgiveness a necessary path to healing—not optional. Forgiveness is an ongoing act of obedience that sets us free, while reconciliation requires both parties to rebuild trust and repair the relationship. Scripture shows this distinction: Esau forgave Jacob but did not reconcile closely, while Joseph fully restored his relationship with his brothers. Megan Marshman walks through the stages of forgiveness, how to discern when to seek reconciliation, and the difference between the two.

Ever considered how the story of Jacob and Esau points us toward Advent? The older should have been chosen—but wasn't. The younger should have been rejected—but wasn't. The betrayed should have been bitter—but wasn't. The offended should have struck back—but instead embraced. It's the gospel in miniature: the God who blesses where we least expect it, the God who forgives what we cannot fix, and the God who reconciles what we've broken. This is the story that leads us to Christmas. #Advent #JacobAndEsau #UnexpectedGrace #PCCFaithFamily #KingJesus #TheGreaterStory #FamilySunday #JesusOurBrother #GraceInRealLife #ChristmasHope

Enjoy!====================

Introduction The doctrine of unconditional election, as presented in the Canons of Dort, is often misunderstood as unfair. However, the Canons argue that it is a loving doctrine because it guarantees the fulfillment of God's redemptive decree, ensuring that His people will enter His rest despite our rebellion.Election by Grace The Canons of Dort affirm that God's election is a gracious choice made before the foundation of the world, not based on human merit. This doctrine emphasizes God's sovereignty and mercy, highlighting that humanity's fall into sin was a result of humanities' own rebellion. The Canons also underscore the significance of God's means, such as His Word and Spirit, in drawing individuals to Himself.RC Sproul pointed out that there are four possible options for God's plan of salvation: no salvation, sending Christ without guaranteeing faith, ensuring salvation for some, or ensuring salvation for all. The most gracious options are ensuring salvation for some or all. In Romans 9 Paul addresses the issue of Israel's election and the inclusion of Gentiles in the church. God's election is based on His mercy alone, his good will, and not on human merit or actions.Election without our worksThe doctrine of reprobation, as explained in the canons, asserts that God's election is not based on foreseen faith or human merit. Instead, it is a sovereign act of God's grace, where He chooses some for salvation while passing over others. This is exemplified in the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, where God's choice of Jacob is not based on Esau's perceived unworthiness, but on His own sovereign will.Romans 9 explores the complex relationship between Jacob and Esau, highlighting their differing attitudes towards God's promises. Esau, representing the reprobate, is indifferent to spiritual matters, while Jacob, though zealous for God's promises, relies on his own schemes rather than God's timing. Jacob learns through his limp that God establishes his purposes. It is not based on the man who works. It is based on God's mercy. Our works flow from our election and the Spirit's work. We need to remember that God's election is not cruel, as He allows reprobates to pursue their desires, while the elect, maybe sometimes concerned about their standing, need to realize that the reson we cear is the Spirit's work in us. So believe and live! ConclusionGod is not cruel in His doctrine of election. We need to remember that He allows reprobates to continue on their chosen path, while showing mercy to the elect. The elect, unlike the reprobate, care about Christ and their salvation, which is guaranteed by God's elective purpose and mercy. There is a great comfort in this in our seasons of doubt. If we wonder if we are the reprobate we ought to realize that Esau never cared about that status. He only cared about the earthly standing. Let us proceed in the confidence of Christ. Let us proceed in his mercy. Let us live unto him and die to self as our life and strength are only found in him.

From the bima at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City, Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch reflects on the darker impulses unleashed by social media and draws a parallel to the enduring human struggles embodied in Jacob and Esau.

EPISODE 338 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Dark Knight Returns style! We go over the 2020(ish) mini series The Last Ronin. This takes place in a bleak future version of our world, where only one turtle is still alive, and he is fighting to avenge his fallen brothers and father.  It was a hit story and mostly very well received by fans! There is a very clear influence from Frank Miller's mid-1980s Batman story The Dark Knight Returns, but it's still very much a TMNT story, albeit one in the "mature, violent" category. Kevin Eastman collaborated on this, using an outline he and Peter Laird had done in 1987 as a starting point. Along with writer Tom Waltz and a cadre of brilliant arists (Esau and Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop as well as Kevin Eastman), they craft a dark post-apocalyptic (not technically, but it feels like a fallen world) landscape. We visit most of the main cast of Turtles lore (in the comics) one way or the other.  Despite all the harshness and sad turns, it's very fun! In Loose Screws, we talk about Batman: Dark Patterns, which Kevin loves (and Will has not read).

Before Yeshua healed a single person, before He preached a single sermon, and before He called a single disciple—He waited. Thirty silent years. And when the heavens finally opened over Him, the very first thing the Spirit did was not send Him into ministry… but into the desert.   Why?   Because the wilderness reveals our hunger and because Yeshua is walking out another story.     In Matthew 4, the Adversary whispers to Yeshua, “Turn these stones into bread.” But Yeshua answers with the lesson Israel forgot, the lesson Adam and Eve rushed past, the lesson Esau traded away, the lesson Saul failed—and the lesson we still struggle with: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”   We avoid waiting. We fill the silence. We numb the hunger. But in the desert seasons—ankles breaking, plans collapsing, blessings disguised as disasters and vice versa—God does His deepest work.   Gam Zu L'Tovah. This too is for the good.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Kislev Why is it called the month of geulah? What message does this month teach us in our personal lives? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the personal application of Vayetzei Yaakov? What is represented by Jacob's ladder and the angels ascending and descending?Why is prayer compared to a ladder?Why was there a need for G-d to make a promise to Jacob when He had already promised the same thing to Abraham? How could Jacob be fooled by Laban when he knew the entire Torah? What do we learn from Rachel giving the signs to Leah? How was Yaakov and Leah's marriage valid according to halacha if the kesuba named Rachel and not Leah? Who were Bilhah and Zilpah? Did Bilhah and Zilpah consent to marriage? How do we explain all the allegorical and mystical interpretations in Torah seemingly justifying questionable behavior? What is the difference between the balance of chesed and gevurah and tiferes? Was there a difference between Jacob and Esau as children and as adults? What are the dynamics of a blessing? Why did Isaac bless Yaakov with the name Elokim and not Havaya?  What was unique about the Mitteler Rebbe? What do we learn from this day? What are some interesting teachings of the Mitteler Rebbe? To what extent are people facing mental health struggles or addictions responsible for their Torah obligations? For a person suffering from addiction, is the message just to continue doing mitzvos — or does that minimize the need to address the addiction itself?Vayeitzei Toldos Tes Kislev Responsibilities of those suffering from mental health issues and addictions 

To earn the connection to the Light-Infinity, each of us must wage our own internal battle between Esau - the evil inclination, and Jacob - the good inclination. When we overcome the darkness and turn it into light, the bitter into sweet, and the tribulation into victory. We can step out of the box, out of our mental dungeon, to flee up and above our limited logic, be inspired and create the miracle. The month of Kislev is a month of miracles, transcending the limits of reason - Jacob's ladder - The secrets of Prophetic Dreams.

The conversation also touches on The Dragon Legacy by Nicholas DeVere, which presents the Serpent Seed concept through a secular lens, connecting it to elite and royal bloodlines. The episode delves into the mystery of Esau's unusual birth and introduces the topic of elongated skulls, with a close look at a real specimen. These skulls, with their distinct non-human features, are examined as possible evidence of a hybrid race linked to the fallen ones and the ongoing Seed War. #history #ancienthistory #ancient #usa #podcast #aliens
