Description

When Yaakov sends his message to Eisav and lists his wealth, he mentions his sheep third. All the avot, including Yaakov, have their wealth described with sheep first. Why? Rabbeinu Bechayei has an explanation. Video dvar Torah sent out to alumni and parents at Yeshivat Har Etzion. Original link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92wXiTxJEQM
