Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Toldos 5780

Bob please join us this week's Torah portion sponsors told those the question of the week is what is more important the soul or the body the neshamah or the Gulf so in this week's Torah portion practice poshest told us we learn about the two brothers Yaakov Anissa the Torah tells us Esau was a man full of here read and he was a hunter and Yaakov was someone each Tom you actually if I call him he sat at home a simple person the Torah continues to tell us a story ISA comes home one day from the field Yakko cooked a pot of lentils and he says ciacco give me some of the lentils and y actus no I don't want to give it to you he says you don't want to give it to me no problem I'll buy for you so he says what are you gonna give me he says I'll give you my firstborn rights C actor the shrine we have a deal and sure enough that's when he sells in the firstborn rights so the question is asked Esau is a hunter why would II saw go ahead and need to knock up some lentils and B why would he go ahead and sell for the first one rights he knew how valuable it was so the Rebbe explains that the truth is is a whole spiritual story that was taking place as we know that yeah ke resembles the neshamah Esau resembles to go what's the difference between the neshamah in the Gulf the neshamah is someone that shines his qualities good deeds all beautiful actions the goof on the other hand is a body but on the other hand the body was created by Hashem and God chose us because of her body that means the body creates our essential connection of Shem so in other words Jaclyn was all about qualities values all great things Esau on the other hand was all about the essential connection and that's why when it says a reference to a saw it says that ASA was at ed knowing which just comes from the word of mine he was very very much into the essence very very strong powers I mean they say he was red because that represents the 13 attributes of powerful capitalistic lights but all from an essential connection so the problem is that Yaakov even though he was this great boy but he needed he was looking for the essential connection east on the other hand as much as he had the essential connection he wasn't able to reveal it and the two of them would make a great team if they were able to team up so the Rebbe explains the current scope although what happened was as follows Easter comes home and he turns to Yaakov and he says holiday nee-naw nee-naw all day my other mother you know this other nodding which means my ego the strong power central connection I have Hauser means this this means we're able to point is reveal it he turns to your company says Yaakov helped me reveal my essential power bring out the essential power that I have up to the point I want to show you I don't care about revelation I don't care about stuff I'm willing to give you my firstborn rights what ASA was telling him in a positive way this is brilliance of Kabbalah the way it looks the way he gave away to the firstborn not as a negative thing he was saying all these externalities all these rewards you can keep it I'm not about for a relation I'm not about rewards I'm not about external stuff I'm about essence you want to take older revelation so here you see the yak of a nation where a true partner why because Esau had the essence Yaakov had the revelation ESO needs Yaakov to help him bring out the essence in a revealed way but Yaakov also wants that powerful essential connection that the answer the question what is more important to soul the body that both equally is important and you need both you need the soul to bring out our qualities in a revealed way but you need the body to be able to connect to the essential real power this week's Turell is dedicated to the memory of burrows and are you Lane slow-mo baño safe and ruffle the sleeper may their souls be elevated by the Torah was stunning in their memory for more information please see our website Chabad SWS org thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tourism
