Parasha awdot 5783
Have you ever stopped to think about what your strengths and weaknesses are?
This can happen in each one of us, because we have a certain characteristic that distinguishes us from others, each one is a different entity and where we have to be strong is in our characteristics and be proud of what we are, but we must also accept our weaknesses, but that does not mean that we cannot, but rather we have to locate our talent and through this In Parasha "Toldot" we will find this answer!
Toldot tells us about Isaac's sons: Ezeb and Jacob, they were always in constant struggle from their mother's womb and so throughout their lives, but they depended on each other, even though they did not see it.
On the one hand, Ezab was a man of the countryside, a developed and reddish man who dedicated himself to hunting, a man of work, and on the other, Jacob had a specialty in study.
Today we could compare it to those who are dedicated to work activity and those who only study, however both are needed, we can be on the one hand Ezab and on the other Jacob, in the relationship between Jacob and Esav it is a controversial subject since both fought for their rights, for the right of primogeniture and on the other hand, for the blessing, this when Jacob took the blessing by "deception" of his father Isaac, and that many perhaps could judge Jacob, but it is not like that, Hashem moves things in such a way, that everything is perfect and therefore they happen for a reason.
Esav could be described as disloyal and lacking brotherhood, but it would not be fair if we did not include an analysis of the upbringing they received from their parents, since this generally influences the future life of their children, better known as education, so our Torah tells us that the parents failed to recognize each other's strengths.
Both mother and father had favorite children in some aspects, but in reality they were unable to recognize and enhance each other's abilities, so there was confusion and this is what perhaps even today we do not understand, because sometimes we believe that only we are the ones who deserve something and in reality things are very different, since the other also has rights, and because of these situations, family problems also arise.
Both Isaac and Jacob were created by a special divine intervention, since their mothers were barren and we have heard a lot of this in the Torah, and it is all for a purpose that
thanks to Emuna -The trust we have in Hashem- miracles happen, an example is when the Torah tells us that Isaac prayed to Hashem for his wife, and from there he conceived twins Ezab and Jacob.
Each one of us has a part of Ezab and Jacob, one is the strength and the other the weakness, on the one hand we dedicate ourselves to the study of the Torah, but on the other we also
We dedicate ourselves to work, to fight for life and the famous saying of "making money" and that sometimes even tempts us to forget the spiritual part, and although this (fighting for sustenance) is not bad, but we have to know how to set limits, however at this point Knowing how to balance both forces is where we must have control and mastery, operating the appropriate trait in the appropriate situation, where we will be partially in spiritual and material situations, our life stories allow us to outline and design ourselves as people, of course there will be doubts, but when we resolve them, we find our area of specialty both spiritually and materially.
Shabbat Shalom!
Dedicated to the healing of all the sick in Am Israel and the world, and to the success and blessing of all those who spread the message of Emuna (the pure and authentic Faith in the Creator).
