This week’s parsha, Vayishlach (Genesis/Bereshiet 32:4 thru chapter 36) continues the story of Yakov/Jacob at the time where he has left the house of Laban, and begins the return to his hom, as commanded.
And, importantly, that story begins with his encounter with his long-estranged brother Esau, who, as he last recalled, intended to kill him.
The Erev Shabbat reading:
The Sabbath Day midrash includes a look at the prophet Obadiah, and asks a question. Or is it clear?
Because the animosity has persisted through the millennia.
Vayishlach: Esau is Edom…is…AmeriKa???” Means!
The combined two-part teaching is here, via Hebrew Nation Radio.
