Parshas Vayishlach (5769)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
It is absolutely mind-boggling how Yaakov Avinu was successful in his historical rendezvous with Esav who initially had set out to annihilate Yaakov. We can attribute this to a number of significant factors but the main outstanding point is that he was following for what he understood was the dictates of Hashem. What a most significant, enlightening message—how critical and crucial it is to seek and follow the course of the Will of Hashem in the decisions of Klal Yisroel in general and in personal matters.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
