Yaakov settled in the land of his father’s sojournings, etc. (37:1)
Vayeishev – both in Derech eretz (mundane topics) and dealings of Masa umatan (dealings), Bi’eretz - also in areas of Torah and Tefilloh, Migurei Aviv – Avienu Shebashomayim – Hashem [G-D], one is obligated to do with Yishuv Hadas (calm and collective mind) – Vayeishev.

When Tzadikim sit peacefully in this world, the Sutton comes and is Mikatreg (scorns) and says it is not enough that they are prepared for Olom Habboh (the world to come), but they want Olom Hazeh (this world) peacefully too. The Chidushei Harim ZY”A, would say, that Yitzchok was not in this world, as he was an “Oloh Temimoh – complete sacrifice”. Yaakov Avienu also wanted to live peacefully, as it says Vayeishev Yaakov BiEretz Migurei Oviv – And Yaakov sat in the land of his father’s dwelling, in the very place of his father’s dwelling. Hence, it sprung up the Rogez (scorn), that it was meant that Yaakov Avienu dwell in Olam Hazeh and rectify it. And it is not enough what he was Misaken (prepared – corrected), for Olom Habboh, The world to come.

This week, the week preceding Chanuka was also a week of great events. 18 Kislev 5572 is the Yohrtzeit of the Tzadik Rav Boruch of Mezhebuzh ZY”A, Grandson of the Baal Shem Tov ZY”A and 19 Kislev 5533 is the Yohrtzeit of Reb Dov Ber the great Maggid of Mezeritch ZY”A, Talmud of the Heilige Baal Shem Tov ZY”A.
