In this week’s parsha, I explore the story not only as the birth of two brothers, but as the unveiling of two forces inside each of us, the godly soul and the animal soul. I speak about Rivka’s clarity, her courage, and the way her prophecy becomes a map for our own inner work.

I look at Yitzchak through the lens of gevurah, not as passive, but as someone who mastered his instinct so completely that he could stay present even when everything in him wanted to run. And I explore Esav not as a villain, but as the part of us that learned how to survive, how to grasp, how to react, and how to protect us when nothing else could.

Toldot invites us to dig our own wells, to uncover the waters beneath the story, and to ask what it might look like to let our Yaakov and our Esav work together instead of against each other.

Thank you for listening,
Lea
