  The Rav explained in the words of the sefas emes that Rivka wanted the bracha that was intended for Esav to be given to yakov regarding that even the bnei yakov if we are far away from the kedusha we still should have that inner spark to be able to return us to hashem. Where do we see that idea in the Barachos that yitzchak gave. I don't since any hint of that in the words of the brachos. The idea I  understand but it doesn't seem to say that in the words. A reply to this question would be appreciated.

  Which words in the Bracha of Yitzchak to Yaakov  indicate the idea of rising above the darkness?

  We must have a plan, but be prepared to adjust

  Like Hashem. Who first desired a world according to Din. When it didn't work out He recreated a world according to chesed.

  And even then, again, when Plan A of the world didn't work out, the adjustment and flexibility of Hashem brought the mabul and the world that came afterwards

  Question for Rabbi YY

  How does this compare with the actions of Bilam (who intended to curse but blessed BY). Why did Bilam have the zchus?

  When we control, G-d loses His access to the situation to work, as you ursurped His place as G-d of the situation and of you...eat and be like G-d!

  Question for Rabbi YY

  I just wonder if my relationship is not an abusive one, as my husband can at times be explosive, throwing up all his stuff on me with lots of blame, but then when he calms down, I become less desperate to reach out, and the cycle goeson and on. I doubt myself a lot as I cant identify what the problem is. This causes me to become doubtful, shaky and guilty for feeling lonely, depressed and lost. I have reached out to my therapist and have gone to couple's therapy for 4 month, which he refused to continue at one point when he was given the message that he needs to take responsibility too. I am afraid of him and afraid to reach out to a Rav, as he threatened me he,ll take revenge. Should I just pluck up the courage and continue or be a 'good wife', pray and hope for the best. Thanks a million and be gebenched

    Take him to the court of G-d and let G-d deal with Him.  Be prepared for the ensuing whirlwind!

    Being a woman of substance is not about tolerating abusive behavior and destruction of your self esteem. You should get counseling and honor yourself as Hashem would want.
