The root of the argument between Rivka and Yitzhak is who will govern and judge in the real world. Yitzhak is aware of Esav, the "jewel", who grew up in his home, of his materialism and pretentiousness, but it seemed to him that people like Esav – fearless hunters – are needed to run the world. Yaakov seemed to be too naïve, a delicate Torah scholar. Rivka, on the other hand, who grew up in Lavan’s house, recognized and knew that people like Esav are not only spiritually problematic but also a danger in real life. A legal system, disconnected from belief and spirituality, will at some point lose true judgement, will have mercy on the cruel and thus allow them to continue to be brutal to the weak.

Rivka proposes and succeeds in establishing an ideal combination: "the voice is the voice of Yaakov but the hands are the hands of Esav" – a system that is sourced from Yaakov's voice, eternal Jewish values, and precisely from this, treats terrorists with "the hands of Esav" – firmly without compromise. When the truth is clear, the enemy is not confused with friends, and the real world is run in a more worthy way.

The Torah's Understanding of Love

So much has been written over the course of history about the always-fascinating topic of Love. It encompasses many aspects of our lives, whether between parents and children, between G-d and mankind, between man and woman, or just simply various experiences in which we "love" to engage. The Torah tells us to "love your friend as yourself" and to "love Hashem your G-d." It also relates that Yitzchak loved his wife Rivka, and that the two of them loved each of their sons, respectively. Yet, there is still much room to clarify what precisely is the Torah's approach to this issue.

Who Heard Ten?

Parashat Vaetchanan returns us to the Ten Commandments. We also read the parasha of Shema, which we recite twice a day, thereby accepting Hashem’s sovereignty over us. One thing that unites these special Torah portions is the matter of shemi’ah (hearing).

Chanuka and Shabbat Priorities

One has enough money to either buy wine for Kiddush or candles for Shabbat. What has priority? Does the wine have priority since Kiddush at night is from the Torah or do candles of Shabbat have preference for the sake of "Shlom Bayit"?

The Prohibition Against Smoking

Many people ask, “What does Jewish law have to say about smoking? Is it permissible or forbidden? Is it permissible for a non-smoker to demand that a smoker refrain from smoking in his presence on the grounds that the smoke bothers him?”
