About this listen
Discover the deeper meaning behind Parshat Toldot—the struggle between Jacob and Esau, the true nature of leadership, and why being the “firstborn” in Scripture is not about birth order, but about wisdom, reflection, and choosing the future over impulse.
In this week’s Torah Portion, we explore:
- Why so many biblical firstborns are not chosen
- The difference between instinct (Esau) and thoughtful reflection (Jacob)
- The Hebrew insight behind bechor (firstborn) and bracha (blessing)
- How Jacob embodies the voice of faith and the vision for the future
- What this message means for us today—choosing purpose over impulse, future over now
Join us as we unpack the spiritual depth of Toldot and the timeless lesson of being guided not by instinct, but by wisdom, patience, and God’s calling.
