This text-based class on Likkutei Sichos vol. 10 Parshas Vayeitzei was presented on Tuesday Parshas Vayetzei, 8 Kislev, 5781, November 24, 2020, live from Rabbi Jacobson's home in Monsey, NY 

The class explores a perplexing Midrash on why Yaakov refused to make a peace treaty with Avimelech, as his father and grandfather had done before him. It leads us to examine some of the key differences between Yaakov and Yitzchak, and Avraham in terms of how they related to the toxicity around them.

It also explains why only Yaakov saw all of his children continuing in his footsteps.

The class tells the story of Israeli politician and social activist Geulah Cohen's visit to the Rebbe. How she described sitting for two hours in the presence of a true believer.
