Class Summary:

This class, on Torah Or Vayishlach Yaakov #2, was presented on Thursday Parshas Vayishlach, 15 Kislev 5777, December 15, 2016.

Understanding Eisav's Holiness: Yearning for Infinite Expression. Faced with a Moment of Chaos, It Is Time to Expand Your Horizons.

The class explains the perspective of Yitzchak on Eisav and his son Elifaz. Yitzchak was not gullible and naive; he was deep. The class explores the difference between the life of the free bohemian and the man of finite structure, and why so many people today reject the path of marriage and commitment.

Which path does Judaism embrace? What was the debate between the Vilna Gaon and the Baal Shem Tov? How the Baal HaTanya wanted to show how Halacha can contain the infinite energy of Eisav. The divine structure is never afraid of Tohu.
