Parshas Vayishlach (5762)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

I was asked, wasn’t it wicked to kill the whole town of Shechem?  I think the explanation is that they were supportive of the terrible atrocity to the point that they were willing to be circumsized which shows a tremendous commitment to the wickedness of Shechem, their leader.

We are living in a society and culture which has terrible ideas, ideals and condones wickedness.  Just to mention a few—hard core pornography, the gays, abortions, leniency in the mixing of men and women, women’s lib.  How much effort and care must be invested not be supportive of the wickedness of Esav.

Have a lovely Shabbos.
