About this listen

 📖 Parshat Toldot This Week: When famine strikes, Yitzchak's instinct is to flee to Egypt as his father did. But God tells him, 'Stay put.' Fight it out right where you are. That year, despite the famine, his crops yielded 100 times what he had expected. Our knee-jerk reaction in challenging dynamics, difficult relationships, struggling businesses, and hard seasons is often to bail, to hit the eject button. And sometimes that's necessary. But sometimes success isn't in escaping; it's in staying present, fighting it out, not giving up when things get hard. The Torah doesn't promise we'll always see material abundance as Yitzchak did, but it reminds us that breakthroughs often come to those who stay in the fight. What would happen if you didn't run? What growth awaits on the other side of staying? Shabbat Shalom. 💪
