Shnayim Yomi - Vayishlach - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi David Tawil - The Power of Repentance

Good morning for this aliyah records the genealogy of the family of the par ends with the words who is a he is the father of a sentiment that's repeated several times in the aliyah who is why does the end once again by telling us who it seems redundant tells us He was wicked from the beginning all the way to the end. Why do the rabbis feel the need to tell this to us? In contrast to who was in the generation before Ishmael, the rabbis make a point of telling us how he did, how he ended up coming back, how he repented for some of his earlier actions and he reconciled with his brother and even allowed his name's name to be placed before his own when it came time to bury to bury their father. However, when it comes to that wasn't the case did not have that same level of repentance or remorse. He was despite everything that transpired between him and despite all of the clues and the hints that Hashem gave him throughout continued down his path and went down his ways he never took on the gift of tisha. That is why we call him harasha which we don't put that modification by Ishmael. Ishmael is a redeemed character. Isav is not. And when it came time to bury it, the puk puts is before Yakov because Isav would not defer to Yakov. The tragedy of Isav is not that he committed all his wicked things. It was the fact that he could not at the end of the day humble himself to want to do and maintained his level of whereas other characters like who we end up having is because of the fact that they were able to do and recognize the right way to come back to Hashem. Have a great day.
