Let’s Get Practical
Gaining an Appreciation of Yaakov
This world is filled with darkness and deception. The distinctions between the Yaakovs and the Eisavs can often become blurred and hard to recognize. Even Yitzchok Avinu was deceived by Eisav. This week, I intend bli neder to develop a greater appreciation for Torah scholars. Once each day, when I am in the presence of someone studying Torah — be it a rabbi, a kollel member, or a yeshiva student — I will try to envision this representative of the Torah as someone emanating a wonderfully sweet fragrance and serving as a great source of blessing to the world.
This week’s booklet is based on tapes: 21 – Hashem Chooses the Best | 72 – Making Light Into Darkness 149 – He Made Darkness | 292 – Eisav and His World 850 – Errors of Eisav | E-217 – Seeing in the Dark
