VAYEITZEI - THE PROBLEM WITH PROBLEMS
from Deeper Look At The Parsha · host Rabbi Pini Dunner
One of the classic human ways of dealing with problems is to run away from them. Running away often seems so much easier than facing the problems head-on. But running away from a problem never resolves it. So why did Jacob run away from Esau? Why didn't he just deal with the problem right away? Using a novel interpretation on the first verse of Parshat Veyeitzei by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Ferber of London (1883-1966), Rabbi Dunner explains how Isaac's intervention before Jacob left made all the difference.
