Genesis 25:19 - 28: 9

Rivka (Rebecca) gives birth to Esav (Esau) and Ya'akov (Jacob). Esav sells the birthright to Ya'akov for a bowl of lentil soup. Yitzchak (Isaac) lives in Gerar with Avimelech (Avimelech), king of the Philistines. Esav marries two Hittite women who cause his parents great pain (because they were not one of us).

Ya'akov impersonates Esav on the advice of his mother to receive the blessing for his blind father's eldest son, Isaac. Esav, angered by his brother's deception that caused him to lose the firstborn's blessings, plans to kill Ya'akov, so Ya'akov flees with his uncle Lavan (Laban) in Padan Aram - on the advice of his parents. They also advise him to marry Lavan's daughter.

Esav understands that his Canaanite wives do not like his parents, so he marries a third wife, Machlath, Ishmael's daughter.

This weekly portion Tol'dot, Toldos or Tol'doth (תּוֹלְדֹת - Hebrew) means "generations" or "descendants". We must look for our "Morasha" (spiritual heritage) in our DNA because this is our Legacy (Mission). Follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.

Every healthy home is a macrocosm of the entire universe, helping to make the entire world a home for Gd. Harmony at home, within a family, translates into harmony between families and communities and nations. When there is no harmony between people who are related by blood, how can we hope to create harmony between strangers?

After many centuries of exhausting travel, it is time for all of us to return home, to ourselves, to our families, to Gd. After thousands of years of civilization in this world, after millions of spiritual seeds that human beings have planted through acts of kindness, the time has come for this world to sprout up like a garden: the garden of G-d, a universe full of goodness and goodness. knowledge.

"And the servants of Isaac (Isaac) dug in the valley and found there a well of fresh water" (Genesis 16:19).

Why does the Torah delve into the wells that Isaac found?

This teaches us that we shouldn't give up in frustration when we start something and run into difficulties. Do not despair. When Yitzchak dug and found no water, he kept digging elsewhere until he finally found what he was looking for. When others quarreled with him and took over his wells, he still was not discouraged. He continued digging until he finally found a well with water that he could use in peace and called the Rechovot area.

This is a practical lesson for all areas of our life. This applies to spiritual and material matters; to Torah studies and business. Be persistent when things don't turn out your way at first. Especially when starting to study Torah, don't give up if you find it difficult at first. People often fail because they give up too soon.

There are three rules to be successful in life: 1) Initiative: you have to try; 2) Perseverance - you have to keep trying; 3) The Almighty smiles at your efforts. Keep trying and, G-d willing, you will succeed.

Great people acknowledge their mistake and apologize. Common people find excuses.

You have to choose happiness, it
doesn't choose you!

I never tried to quit
and I never stopped trying!

¡Shabat shalom!
