Parsha:
Toldot 

Description

Could it really happen here? Could "it" - the kind of antisemitism that morphs and mutates into violent hate and rage - really happen here, in America? Already, we have witnessed too many acts of violence and trespass against our people and our institutions...As a result, we find ourselves at a moment in time when American Jews feel the same vulnerabilities that our brothers have felt in too many lands and at too many times. In parashat Toldot, we feel the agony of yet another of our imahot struggling to conceive. Her two as yet unborn infants represent two nations, two totally conflicting ideologies and ways of life - Israel and Edom. Their rivalry and struggle in the womb represent the future rivalries between them.
