Description

Based off of the sale of the right to the firstborn found in Parshas Toldos, this shiur discusses the Halacha about honoring one's older brother. Mefarshim explain that Yaakov felt the need to honor Eisav because he was older. In the Halacha as well, there is a din that one must honor his older brother.
