Parashas Toldos

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Toldos .
In the previous Parsha, the generation of Avraham and Sarah had passed on and now the next generation was at hand and the one following. This is what is included in this Parsha.
This Parsha starts by telling us ," Eileh Toldos Yitzchak Ben Avraham Avraham Holid Et Yitzchak ," - " These are the offspring of Isaac son of Avraham-Avraham begot Yitzchak ." HaShem had chosen the Jewish line to go through Avraham's son Yitzchak, and it was through this line and this line only that the Jewish People of Israel would continue.
The Torah repeats in this first verse that Yitzchak is the son of Avraham . The reason for this , is that at the time, the people of that day tried to make out that Avimelech ( who had taken Sarah ) , head of the Plishtim , might have been the one who fathered Yitzchak, so to assure all, that Avraham was the genuine Father of Yitzchak , The Torah repeats this fact.
Just looking at Avraham and Yitzchak, there was no doubt , they were Father and son , but to dispel the doubters, HaShem Wrote it twice in this portion , in the first verse of this Parsha .Father and son looked alike and so Avraham asked for signs of age , so the two could be distinguished.
It was for twenty years that Yitzchak and Rivka prayed for children . In this verse near the beginning of the Parsha,Rivka's lineage is mentioned in connection with the time it took before they had a child, to show that her family's influence was one of the reasons why they had to wait so long . When Rivka left with Eliezer, in the previous Parsha to come to Yitzchak , her family had uttered a statement that was partly meant like a curse, that she should come to be myriads - like the Ayin Hora - the Evil eye , so , this lasted twenty years , for Rivka married Yitzchak when Yitzchak was 40 years old ( just 3 years after the Akeidah ) and it took them another 20 years before she could give birth . HaShem had her wait out this period , so her family's words could not be said to be the cause of her becoming ' myriads,' to show it comes purely and only from HaShem Himself .
Eventually , Yitzchak decided to beg HaShem for offspring on Har HaMoria , where the Akeidah took place , with Yitzchak on one side and Rivka on the other ( opposite his wife ) . The time also had to pass, so Avraham's holy line through Yitzchak , could separate itself from the other side of the family of Lavan the Aramean, thus allowing an untainted Jewish Holy Strain through Yaakov , to continue un interrupted and without an aramean taint. The very fact that all our Fore- Mothers Sarah , Rivka and Rachel ,were all at first barren , shows that our Jewish people , are purely a miracle from HaShem and beyond the physicalities of this Earth , and we are here to teach the World about HaShem , The One and Only . 
The word used near the beginning of this Parsha for that HaShem Allowed Himself to be entreated to give them a children , is the Hebrew word "Vaye' tar ," which has the Gematrical value of 6+10+70+400+200 = 686 and 6+8+6 =20 , for the 20 years that they begged HaShem , to Bless them with offspring . It shows that we should not give asking for mercy , of HaShem , for Hashem Knows the right time . 
Torah says , that the children " Vayitrotzetzu," - " Agitated ," within her . How did they agitate? Within this word, is the Hebrew word ' Rutz /Ratz ' which means to 'Run,' for when she passed a House of Torah Learning, Yaakov wanted to run to it and when she passed a house of idol worship, Aisav wanted to run to it . So she enquired of the people around her ' Why am I thus?' Suffering in such pain and discomfort and the children agitating within her. She went to inquire at the Yeshiva of Shem , and the answer HaShem Gave her is that there were two nations and regimes within her, who would be separated , with opposing motives, one that would serve HaShem and the other that would serve himsef and themselves and the physicalities of this World . And it will be Yaakov who would rule Aisav at the End of Days.
These two children were fighting in the womb and her pain was unbearable , so much so that she at times wondered about children , and so , the right to bear the 12 tribes was taken from her and given to the next generation .
When she was ready to give birth , the two children were still in conflict and even though Yaakov was to be the elder, Aisav pushed him aside and came out first, purposefully damaging and scratching his own Mother's insides , so she could have no more offspring , while Yaakov , who had been pushed aside in the womb , came out holding onto Aisav's heel , thus Yaakov, had within his name , the name ' Eikev' which also meant 'heel .' How interesting that today, Italy , descendants of Rome and thus Edom and Aisav, is shaped like a boot and heel.
Aisav came out completely ruddy, with a full set of red hair ( thus was he named Aisav, like the field full of grass as his head was full of hair ) and teeth, biting and scratching . His brother Yaakov came out , as I mentioned above, holding onto Aisav's heel and so was he called Yaakov .King David too, was born with red hair and slightly ruddy , but he used his talents for the good of Israel , unlike Aisav, who cared only for himself . The Haftorah also refers to Yaakov and Aisav in Malachi 1:1 - 2:7 , thus the reason for this specific Haftorah for this Parsha.
It became obvious as they grew that the two boys had opposite ideals in mind . Yaakov was a wholesome holy man , "Abiding in Tents,". Which meant he stayed and studied HaShem's Learning all the time . Our Rabbis say, no one ever studied Torah as Yaakov did, all the time , even while he was engaged in other things . But Aisav , was a hunter and man of the field . Aisav, would pretend to his father that he was holy and learning , like a Pig , pretending to be Kosher that puts up its feet and shows how its hooves are split ( one half of the two signs to ensure Kashrus) yet inside , not chewing the cud - thus inside , completely treif - not Kosher and impure . Aisav used to hide this with his Father , for when Yitzchak used to ask his son Aisav what he learned today, Aisav , used to sit for a while outside the Yeshiva so he could hear something to deceive his Father with , pretending that he had been inside and learnt it, even though he didn't . Aisav also used to ask his Father deeper questions about a Halachic points , just to pretend he wanted to keep beyond the Law, for example, he once asked his Father ,about taking Ma'aser out of straw, even though such is not done , just to deceive his Father into believing he studied. His Father, having a slight sense to know of his deceit, tried to love him more and at least appreciate some of the physical likes, like game in their mouth , but Rivka, who knew the truth of her sons, favored Yaakov .
A sad Event happened in the family , when Avraham passed away and Yaakov sat down to make for his Father , Lentil stew, the roundness that symbolized the circle of life . As Yaakov was cooking this, Aisav came in from the field, completely drained. Why that day was he so drained? He had spent the day , committing a murder against a fearsome man called Nimrod, the son of the original Nimrod, who had built the Tower of Bavel . Aisav had desired the coat he was wearing, that was originally Adam's , given to subdue animals, and it had been taken from Noach, by Cham's son Canaan and ended up with Nimrod the one who built the Tower of Bavel and the first to get others to rebel against HaShem . While the family was in mourning for his grandfather Avraham , Aisav had followed Nimrod and his soldier and waited for an opportunity to distract the others soldiers, which he instigated, and so killing Nimrod the son of Nimrod and the two soldiers with him , Aisav was then able to steal the coat . So now, Aisav had come in completely exhausted, not even caring about his grandfather Avraham, whom HaShem had taken back, just before Aisav really showed his wicked ways, so as to deprive Avraham of this sad site of this Aisav, turning away from HaShem , even though Avraham sensed Aisav's motives were impure .
Aisav came in and was attracted by the red color ( like blood - thus was he called Edom from the Hebrew word 'Dam'- ' Blood ' ) of the wine and the look of the lentils and so he asked Yaakov to feed. Him . Yaakov saw an opportunity to get the Birthright back, which was originally his, had Aisav not pushed him aside in the womb , for Yaakov thought that this unholy man cannot be the line through which HaShem Gives His Covanant to work to keep the World Holy .And so Yaakov asked him to sell the Birthright. Aisav, knowing this was a Spiritual Gift , the Birthright , and knowing his spiritual days were non existant after his life due to the way he behaved, sold the Birthright , for part of him realized it would not be of benefit to him anyway, becauae he wouldnt get this spiritual reward . Such is the case with unholy people , who live by their physicalities , not realizing that true eternal worth comes through Spiritual Work and Reward .His present Physical here and now life was all he could see ,with his self-chosen debased character. Aisav was asked to swear it was sold to Yaakov, Aisav swore and so , at the reciprocated giving of the food, a legal binding arrangement had been made, that now the birthright belonged to Yaakov and his descendants . Yaakov had saved and assured it for our people forever .
Aisav was a man who liked taking already married women, or killing many a man . He was intelligent and was often called to catch a liar in court for he could get the perpetrator to admit things they had done. He could have used his intelligence in HaShem's Service, but rather chose to serve himself . 
A famine broke out in the land, worse than in Avraham's time and Yitzchak settled in Gerar .Again, he did as his Father did, and said his wife is his sister. But Avimelech gazed down and caught their true relationship as husband and wife . Avimelech warned his people not to harass them .Yitzchak became very wealthy and the Plishtim had stopped up all the wells his Father Avraham had dug. Avimelech chased Yitzchak away and Yitzchak again opened the wells his Father had dug , calling them by the same names his Father had called them .
Then Torah tells of three other wells ( which our Rabbis say represent the future of our Three Temples ) that Yitzchak opened , the First one he called Essek , due the quarreling the Gerar herdsman made with him , like our First Temple . The Second Well , where they quarreled also , he called Sitnah - like our Second Temple , and the Third Well, where no quarreling took place over it and he named it Rehovot , like our Third Temple to come , in which it will stand forever and we will have ample space in the Land of Eretz Yisroel Given to us by HaShem ( as this Well represented ) .
HaShem Appeared to Yitzchak and the covenant was reeiterated between HaShem and Yitzchak and his offspring .
When Avimelech saw that after he had kicked out Yitzchak and chased him away , he didn't do so well, and so he went with his friends and general to call Yitzchak back .Here in this portion of the Torah , is the typical remark of Anti- Semitism through our history , how we were kicked out , but it was in 'peace ' that we were kicked out,as if to say they and the gentile nations through history did us a favor by mistreating us and at least some let us live , even though they kicked us out of the land without anything of ours , we had worked for .
The two left eachother in 'peace.'
It was then that Aisav, we are told , at the same age as his Father was when Yitzchak married, also copied as a show, and took two foreign Non- Jewish wives , idol-worshipers and presented them to his parents with Made up Jewish sounding names . Yitzchak and Rivka knew and were very upset .
Time went on and Yitzchak's eyes dimmed . Our Rabbis say, it was so arranged that Yitzchak would go blind, so the Blessings could be correctly given to the right son Yaakov and also that Yitzchak would not have to see the idol worshiping women his son Aisav brought home , for the blindness is mentioned right after that . The time came for Yitzchak to Bless his supposed eldest son , supposed firstborn Aisav, so he called him and asked him to go fetch that which he loves and prepare it and thus make Yitzchak's spirit joyful enough to be able to Bless him. 
Rivka heard and called her son Yaakov to go in instead . A true holy wife, corrects the spiritual error of her husband and thus saves her husband too . Rivka was a true Eishes Chayil .
Yaakov did not want to do this, but Rivka told him to go take two goats that she owned , given to her by her husband two a day as part of the Kiddushin agreement ,and to bring it to her , so she could prepare it in the way her husband likes . Yaakov was concerned about his smooth skin , where Aisav was a hairy man , and by providence, Aisav had left his coat he had taken from Nimrod at home that day. Rivka put it on her son Yaakov and off Yaakov went .
Yaakov approached his Father trembling and as he asked permission to enter, he referred to HaShem , something Aisav would not do . When asked who he is , Yaakov did not want to lie and thus answered ," It is I Aisav (saying quietly to himself ," is " ) your firstborn ." Also, Yitzchak smelled the fragrance of " A Garden / Field that HaShem Had Blessed ,". the smell of Gan Eiden , and Yitzchak knew, his son Aisav would not have such a holy fragrance to him , so he called his son close to touch him and kiss him ,to make sure , and Yitzchak felt the garment of Aisav. Thus said Yitzchak , " The Voice is the Voice of Yaakov (Holy and Sweet ) , but the Hands ( that would do this thing ) are the hands of Aisav ." These words of Yitzchak, became the prophecy for our future, because when we all speak and learn (Including our children ) Words of Torah , the hands of Aisav - ( Amalek - Agag Haman and others from their line through history ) cannot overcome us . Yitzchak Blessed him for then , and for the future and till the End of Days .
Yaakov was blessed to be over all his brothers and Blessed with the sweetness from Shamaim .So had Yaakov secured our very lives and future as Jews .
But what happened to Aisav all this time? 
Malachim - Angels kept him very busy, not allowing him to catch animals and those he did catch and tie up, were let loose . 
Eventually , Aisav , fed up , went home and killed and cooked the family dog .Aisav arrived just as Yaakov left , only to find that his brother had just gotten the Blessing . We are told, that Aisav cried three loud and bitter cries, one tear from his right eye, one from his left and the third he kept in, while he kept begging his Father for a Blessing. Yitzchak told him that whatever he would bless Aisav with, would belong to Yaakov, for Yaakov was made a master over him, and the master owns all the slave possesses. The Three tears Aisav cried, he would be able to take out on us though History, if we don't adhere to Torah . In the story of Purim, it says, when Mordechai heard of Haman's Decree, Mordechai cried out , " A loud and bitter cry ."
When Aisav mentioned to his Father Yitzchak that he had sold his Birthright to Yaakov, Yitzchak stopped fearing that he had Blessed the wrong son, and so responded that 'He shall remain Blessed ." 
Yitzchak Blessed Aisav only for the fatness of the Earth in Physicality, in Olam HaZe: The Present World , like Germany, and Rome, that had vast wealth , but as Rome , the children of Edom Eisav came and will come to be small and come to nought, so too,will the other enemies of us Jews find the same fate .
Eisav never forgave Yaakov and wanted his own Father to die soon, so he could take revenge. 
He knew that if he takes action against Yaakov himself, he would be charged. So he went and married the daughter of Yishmael , whose name was Mahalath, so as to persuade her Father , who also harbored a hatred for being shunned by Yitzchak, to kill Yaakov, but this plan never took place, as Yishameal died just before his daughter married Aisav . 
Rivka called her son Yaakov and told him to go to her family till Aisav's anger calms, but he wouldn't go until Yitzchak his Father sent him, and so , Rivka told Yitzchak , who sent Yaakov to Rivka's Family. Here again , knowingly, Yitzchak openly Blessed Yaakov , reiterating and thus agreeing to and confirming the Blessings given before. So ends the Parsha .
The Parsha is called Toldot," - " Offspring ," and refers to the family of and generations to come of the Jewish People , to whom HaShem Gave the Torah to bring Light to the World and teach the World about the True G-D HaShem . 
The very fact that Yitzchak is mentioned as the next generation of Avraham, shows a Holy worthiness , to carry on the Torch of Holy HaShem's Yiddishkeit . The next generation, was to streamline itself, with the help of Yaakov, who put his own life on the line, to ensure his " Toldot" - "Generations" and "Offspring" would be Blessed and continue, even though he never personally had physical reward himself in his own lifetime, but did all for his children and us Jews, so that we would have a future in HaShem 's Path of Torah . That is the true "Toldot," the true way Generations are worthy to continue. 
We Jews are not like many others, that live just for physical pursuits. Our very destiny is a Spiritual one, heading for HaShem . Though nations have tried to kill us and remove us, we are still here, and none have been able to remove us from HaShem's Torah and Path . Their attempts to do so, have its aim in trying to destroy us , for if they get the Jew to leave Yiddishkeit Chas Ve Shalom , then the hands of Aisav can try overcome , Chas Ve Shalom .It is thus the only true way to fight anti-semitism, to ensure we never Chas Ve Shalom leave HaShem and His Torah and ensure that Israel remains a Torah Home . It is our duty to ensure that the "Toldot," - "Generations" of ours continue till Mashiach and beyond forever, to keep HaShem's Torah and Follow all The Commandments of our Creator . That is truly keeping the "Toldot ." We are to fill each "Toldot " - " Generation "
With HaShem's Torah Light . We are not to curry favor with others , by letting go of our Gift from HaShem of Torah and a Torah way of life . To lessen on any Laws Chas Ve Shalom , even a single Law, is to lessen on what we owe HaShem . To go away from HaShem can start only with small steps and soon , that offspring from a long line of Jews, could be lost Chas Ve Shalom . To lessen in any way, on Torah and its Laws and its Values , just to be as others, is a total loss of the long line of Yiddishkeit. Our generations before us , died in pogroms and the holocaust and inquisitions and crusades and massacres and other killings and murders perpetrated on us through history every day of the year , through time of our people, just so you and I can be Jewish today . Don't ever take Jewishness lightly or give away this Precious Gift . We owe it to HaShem and those lost for Kiddush Hashem , to remain Holy Torah Jews, and if other people don't like it, they are against HaShem and His Commands. Listen and follow G-D , not other people . Remember that you are a Jew, and HaShem Gave you the Gift of being Jewish . Remain so and keep to Its Tenets . Follow all of Torah , for to lessen on one Law of G-D in Torah, Chas Ve Shalom , is to turn away from G-D . Be proud to be a Jew and who HaShem Made you to be , A Torah Jew that teaches others to follow HaShem.
So let us once and for all, destroy the 'Hands of Aisav,' by making sure each one of us , from generation to generation speaks the words of Yaakov , that lead us to HaShem Forever .
I wish HaShem with Very Deep and Sweet Love, a Very Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with Love and to all my fellow Yidden, a Holy , Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with love .
