Yaakov said to Eisav: “Now take my gift, which has been brought to you, for Hashem has favored me [with it], and [because] I have everything” (Bereishis 33:11). Commenting on the last words of that verse, Rashi says, “I have everything: All my necessities. Esau, however, spoke haughtily, “I have a lot,” [meaning] much more than I need.” The Torah is showing us here a contrast between a Jew and a gentile: A gentile has “a lot”. A Jew has “everything” – everything that he needs to fulfill his mission in the world.

I don’t have a lot,
But I am happy with my ____.
