This class, on Torah Or Vayishlach Yaakov #1, was presented on Wednesday Parshas Vayishlach, 14 Kislev 5777, December 14, 2016. Understanding the difference between Eisav and Yaakov, the world of Tohu/Chaos vs. the world of Tikun, structure and integration. Eisav&#39;s challenge was that he could not find &quot;containers&quot; for his infinite light, hence he fell into the abyss. Yaakov&#39;s mission was to create containers for the limitless energy of his brother. The class explores why Leah was destined to marry Eisav, and how that changed when Yaakov deceived his father.

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.
