Parashat Toldot 5782 - But I Didn’t Do Anything Wrong

Description: The podcast examines the different strategies that rabbis and others have used to lessen the moral issues of Jacob tricking Esau to get the birthright and tricking his father to get the blessing. It compares the post-biblical approach of excusing with the biblical approach of accusing.

Verses: Genesis 25:23, Genesis 25:29-34, Genesis 27:32-36
