Eisav’s Kiss and Conduct During Galus

Eisav’s kiss was only temporarily sincere; as Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai had fled from the Romans, later became ambassador to them since he was a miracle worker; so Yaacov who had fled from Eisav was now able to change him. A Jew must not count on a non-Jew for assistance; however, on a temporary basis, a non-Jew can be influenced to assist, setting the model for the real change in times of Moshiach.
