Description

Why did Yitzchak want to give the bracha to Esav and not Yaakov? Even if Esav did trick Yitzchak into believing that he was a tzadik, why would Yitzchak not have wanted to give the bracha to Yaakov anyway? What is the nature of the actual bracha that Yitzchak gives? In exploring the answers to these powerful questions, we discuss the importance of revealing the spiritual and G-dly within the physical and how that brings about the ultimate goal of Creation itself. (Bereishit, Toldot: Inyan HaBrachot, pp. 176-178)
