Parshas Vayishlach (5765)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

In our parsha we have one of the most outstanding, monumental events; the historical rendezvous between Yakov and Eisav.  Contrary to the very calculated intentions of Eisav, Yaakov successfully defused and neutralized the whole destructive agenda.  Despite its glaring success, Yaakov doesn’t escape the scrutiny of Chazal, the truth of the Torah and was criticized for not sufficiently verifying that his actions were the true will of Hashem, and completely appropriate.  What a lesson of the extreme necessity and importance to constantly confirm that all our actions are daas Torah and the true Will of Hashem.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
