Parashat Toldot 5783 : More Than Meets the Eye

What is the hidden history of Yaakov and Esav, that made them such irreconcilable forces while yet in their mother’s womb? What really happened the mysterious day that Esav sold the birthright to Yaakov, who was ‘cooking a lentil stew?’

The Torah portion of Toldot (Genesis 25 : 19 - 28 : 9) is read on Shabbat, Kislev 2, 5783 - November 26, 2022

Rabbi, do the sages teach what the paid monetary value of the birthright was? I am curious too about what the gematria of such value would provide further insight to us. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and heart with us. Shabbat shalom.
