Shabbat Toldot 5782
The recurring theme of sibling rivarly intensifies in this week’s Torah portion, Toldot. The brothers are described in contrast to one another: one is an outdoorsman, while the other is more of a tent-dweller. Last time we saw such a brotherly contrast, it was Cain and Abel, and that relationship ended really badly. One can imagine dramatic or even angry music as the soundtrack to the Jacob-Esau conflict. See if you can connect these songs to the parshah:
Answers will be revealed after Shabbat minhah, which begins this week at 5:25 PM.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom and happy listening,
Rabbi David Wise
