Parshas Toldos (5769)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Yaakov Avinu carried out the Divinely ordained instructions of Rivka Imeinu to intercede Eisav and receive the brachos of Yitzchok insuring the critical source for the continual existence of Klal Yisroel.  The Chazal ask when did Yaakov pay back Eisav for the great anguish he endured upon the realization of his loss?

ABSOLUTELY MIND-BOGGLING!  Yaakov is fulfilling an awesome mitzvah, nevertheless, the hurt he inflicts on another human being does not go without retribution!  What is the score if the hurt inflicted is done without fulfilling a mitzvah???

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a fulfilling and redeeming Chodesh.
