Yitzchok’s idea is digging wells. What water the wells give him is Hashem’s business. As a result his wells last. The three wells, built with different levels of dedication and sacrifice last for different lengths of time. The third which is through Bittul and Kabbalas Ol lasts forever.

Aisav is Yitzchok’s son, and as he is in Yitzchok, he and Yaakov are just two versions of avodas Hashem, one that is like a Chossid and the other one who overcomes his Yetzer HaRa. Aisav just made bad choices.

Avrohom looked so much closer to Yishmael. In fact Yishmael did Teshuva during his father’s lifetime, while Aisav seemed so evil. Under the surface however, Yitzchok’s connection to Aisav is limitless (he was a Jew, only a sinner) while Yishmael’s relationship to Avrohom was on the outside only. This reflected the difference between who Avrohom…

This class combines a Sicha about Avrohom and the Torah Ohr (beginning of Parshas Toldos) that helps enlighten what separated Avrohom from Yitzchok. Avrohom shone light and inspired from above, doing what appears in affect to be forcing Arabs to see things his way and acquiesce to his request that they pray to Hashem. The…

Bris Mila is two things: 1) a Mitzva, 2) A covenant. In as much as it is a Mitzva what we do today is separate from what the Avos did, but in as much as it is a Covenant, we continue to bring our children into the Covenant of Avrohom Avinu.

Yitzchok’s Bris is superior not only to Yishmael’s but to Avrohom’s as well. Though Avrohom’s Bris was from higher than reason, but his 99 years of preparation cover this over and the idea that it is entirely from Hashem is not obvious.

Avrohom’s life divided into two: before and after the Bris. Before he was doing Judaism (like a brick) afterwards he was Jew, a representative of God on this earth (like a stone which is natural and not like a brick which is artificial).
