Toldos #008

This week, we discuss the following topics: - The questionable paternity of Yitzchak, son of Avraham, and the challenge of defying the haters - The prayers of Yitzchak and the prayers of Rivka - Is the Torah chauvinistic? and the Mandalorian on Disney+ - Why Yaakov and Esav were born as twins - free choice - Soup vs. Birthright: What does it take for us to pass up growth opportunities? - Yitzchak digs wells and forges his own religious path - Mazal tov Esav! Mazal tov Esav! - Why did Yitzchak become blind, and an unintended consequence of the open door policy of Rabbi Chaim of Brisk - The cost of ignoring the elephant in our room
