Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat Toldot [Genesis 25:19–28:9] is the sixth of the weekly parashiyot in the Book of Genesis. The toldot, or generations, from which the parashah takes its name, belong to Isaac. Eilleh toldot yitzhaq ben avraham, avraham holid et yitzhaq: this is the story of Isaac, son of Abraham; Abraham begot Isaac. After a couple stories about Isaac, one of which concerns the birth of Jacob and Esau, the narrative frame shifts to Jacob and Esau. Part of our conversation is devoted to an evaluation of Isaac as patriarch. Does he have what it takes? We began outside the box, so to speak, taking note of the passing of three teachers at the Seminary when we were students: Dr. Sam Klagsbrun, Dr. Israel Francus, and Dr. Avraham Holtz. We shared some memories of each of them. We also reflected on the Rally for Israel on Tuesday. Each of us went, but we did not manage to see each other. Apparently it is not so easy to find people in a crowd of nearly 300,000 with spotty cell service! Finally, we got to the parashah! We hope you enjoy the conversation. Shabbat Shalom!

Parsha 'Toldot' (Genesis 25:19:1 through 29:9) details the life of the patriarch Yitzak (Isaac) after his marriage, the birth of their twins, and then perhaps one of the more "problematic" deceptions in Scripture. The Erev Shabbat reading lays it out: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/SSM-11-18-23-Toldot-teaching-only-xx.mp3 And offten, the focus of the midrash for this parsha tends to be the drama of Yakov evidently lying to his father Yitzak, while impersonating his brother Esau. But just how great was that deception, really, and how does the context matter? But Mark suggests the story only begins with, 'what did Yitzak know, and when did he know it?' Or, when did he at least figure it out? We know that there is a conflict described here that is still raging. And what seems to be all-too-often "glossed over" or even just ignored, is, "what is that birthright?" "Toldot: What About Edom?" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/WT-CooH-Toldot-What-about-Edom-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part teaching is here:

Ramban On The Torah | 20 | Toldot, by Rav Eli Weber Was Yitzchak rich or poor? Did the ancestors keep all the Torah? And did Yitzchak really want to give the blessing to Esav?
What happens once the war in Gaza is over? The problems between Israel and the Palestinians will remain, and may well have deteriorated. Many on the international scene are once again pushing for a two-state solution. Rabbi Dunner dismisses this as premature. Instead, citing a 2014 study that is underscored by the sibling rivalry narrative in Toldot, Rabbi Dunner offers a tentative suggestion for the long road ahead.
Toldot | The Riddle of Esav's Wives, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom In Parashat Toldot, we are told about Esav's first two wives - Yehudit and Basemat, both Hittites. We learn that his parents are embittered by these wives - but not why. At the end of the story, after Yaakov flees, Esav, realizing that his father doesn't approve of his wives, takes a third wife, a daughter of Yishmael. Two oddities provoke our curiosity here - why didn't Yitzchak and Rivka like Esav's wives - and how would adding a third wife to his already troubling marriages make his parents feel any better? The problems become exacerbated when we see the genealogical listing of Esav (Bereishit 36) which identifies three wives - with different, or switched names. We explore the issue of polygamy, both in Bereishit and from the later perspective of the end of the prophetic era (Malakhi) and, after sharing several approaches taken by the Rishonim to solve the puzzle of their names, suggest, based on Ramban's explanation, an approach that solves both the mystery of the changed names as well as the source of Rivka and Yitzchak's bitter feelings towards Esav's first wives. This shiur was given in memory of ליבא ביילע בת משה ז"ל Source sheet >>

Yitzchak teaches a simple lesson about getting what you want and Rivka, Yaakov, and Esav all take it to heart. It is a lesson we should review now.

The story of Isaac quarrelling with the Philistines over the digging of wells is a reminder that living in the land of Israel has always meant sharing the land and its resources, making space for multiple peoples and multiple stories. --- Seven Minute Torah is a production of LAASOK.
