Struggles Between Eisov and Yaakov and the Value of Connection

Ba'er Heitev | December 07, 2025

וַיִּתְרֹצְצוּ הַבָּנִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ וַתֹּאמֶר אִם כֵּן לָמָּה זֶּה אָנֹכִי וַתֵּלֶךְ לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת ה' (Bereishis 25:22)

The unset was that there was a struggle between Eisov and Yaakov. Once there was a separation between them, the end was that Eisov became an “Ish Sodeh – a man of the field”. Being connected to Tzadikim helps a Yid to strengthen himself from the situation he is in. this connection helps him even after his passing, as the Saba Kadisha of Slonim ZY”A said, “everyone who is accustomed to sit at the Sheves Achim with the Chasidim Shabbos at night, so too, when he reaches the True World, if he will request that he be allowed to go every Shabbos to the Rebbe and Chasidim, it will be sure that he will be allowed to go. And then too, possibly that he will not be allowed to return to his place in Gehenom, and he will stay with them”.
