“The next time Jacob and Esau meet is at the burial of their father, Isaac, in Hebron (Genesis 35:27-29).”
Rabbi Dr. Paul Shrell-Fox, Lecturer in Family and Community Studies, at the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies on Parashat Vayishlach:
Despite their conflicting identities Jacob and Esau were able to put aside their differences and come together to bury their father Isaac.
Is this a message for us? Should we give up a little bit of our identity and put cultural differences to rest so that we can learn to listen to one another?
