Description

This shiur discusses Parshas Toldos and the bracha given by Yitzchak to Yaakov. The shiur then focuses on sources in Chazal which teach us to "not take the bracha of a regular person lightly." The shiur explains that the blessing or a curse of a holy person do in fact have an effect on the world. Stories of Rav Schacther, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and others are discussed.
