BETH JACOB CONGREGATION Where The Past Meets The Present, With An Eye Towards The Future...
Shabbat Parshat Vayishlach December 13th, 2008 • שבת פרשת וישלח • טז' כסלו תשס״ט
Parshat Vayishlach pg. 170 Haftorah pg. 1141
Note: The Shabbos Torah Reading is divided into 7 sections. Each section is called an Aliya [literally: Go up] since for each Aliya, one person “goes up” to make a bracha [blessing] on the Torah Reading.
1st 2nd & 3rd Aliyot: It’s the year 2205 and Yakov is 97 years old. He sends messengers to greet Eisav and is informed that Eisav is approaching, prepared to do battle. He applies a three pronged strategy in preparation for the confrontation: a) Tefilah - prayer b) diplomacy c) war. Prior to the actual confrontation, Yakov bests Eisav in a spiritual battle with Eisav’s Angel, and earns the name “Yisroel.” Due to the wound he sustained in the battle, G-d prohibits Yakov and his family from eating the Gid Hanashe - the sciatic nerve. Yakov and Eisav meet after 34 years. 4th Aliya: Yakov and Eisav agree to separate peacefully. Eisav returns to his kingdom of Seir, and Yakov settles outside of the city of Shechem. 5th Aliya: Dina is abducted and raped by Shechem the son of Chamor, and Shimon and Levi devise a strategy for successfully killing the entire male population of Shechem. According to Chazal, Shimon and Levi were 13 years old. Hashem (Gd) instructs Yakov to move to Beth El. Rivka’s nurse Devora dies, and Hashem confirms the name Yisroel upon Yakov. 6th & 7th Aliyot: Rachel dies while
giving birth to Binyamin and Yakov buries her in Beis Lechem. Following Rachel’s death, Reuven switches the bed of Yakov from Bilha’s tent to Leah’s tent. Although Yitzchak will live another 21 years, the Torah relates his death at the age of 180 (2228). The remainder of Vayishlach lists Eisav’s descendants as well as the specific Kings of Seir who ruled prior to King Saul - the first king of Israel. (2882) This week’s Haftorah is the Book of Ovadiah, which is the smallest book of the Prophets - only one chapter. Ovadiah lived during the time of Eliyahu, and the difficult reign of Achav and Ezevel (3043-705 b.c.e.) We were introduced to Ovadiah in the Haftorah of Parshas Vayera when Elisha miraculously helped his widow. Ovadia’s personal commitment and courage in saving 100 prophets from the purges of Ezevel (Jezebel) was rewarded by himself becoming one of the prophets who would prophesies about the demise of evil and the ultimate salvation of the righteous. The connection to our Parsha is the emphasis on Eisav’s eventual demise. Yoseph, who is the positive manifestation of what Eisav
could have been, will triumph in eradicating Eisav’s evil influence from society. “...the house of Yoseph a flame, and the house of Eisav stubble. They will set them ablaze and consume them...” (1:18-19)
Eisav had been given his chance of joining in the creation of the Jewish nation whose influence over society would redirect destiny. Instead of joining, Eisav challenged Yakov, and attempted to destroy him.
