Description

The final selection made in Sefer Bereishit is between Yaakov and Esav. Why are they the last stage in this selection process? Why does the last selection have to take place between two brothers who not only share the same mother and father, but the same womb at twins? We critically examine the crucial difference between Yaakov and Esav and how this impacts the entirety of Jewish history, especially during the last 2,000 years of bitter exile.
