This class given at the Yeshiva, discusses various points in the Parsha. It includes the story of Binyomin and his challenges, the story of Shimon and Levi (listening to your father), and why the people of Shechem were all guilty and deserving of the punishment they got.

Gid HaNasheh (Yeshivah 5781/ 2020), Class Six.The second Zohar (Part 2b):Only Moshe has Nevua on all three levels of ChaBaD and ChaGaS and NeHI; the rest only have it in the NeHI level.Thus the expression (by a Novi) in Chassidus: “Chakika” it is carved (not integrated).This is also the fault of Aisav’s Malach hitting Yaakov….

Vayishlach: Yaakov’s showdown with Eisav, is a more painful and explicit Golus but is more frightful and is resolved more quickly.

VAYISHLACH 2008 – YAAKOV MEETS EISAV CLASSESThe SHELA and the Alter Rebbe both explain the meeting between Yaakov and Eisav on a mystical level (also). This class attempts to reveal the brilliance of these two commentaries in the entire story.

Lavan (on high) inspires correcting not only the spiritual Aisav, but the physical and actual Aisav as well. Lavan is also corrected on all levels. In this class we understand the Ma’amar to be saying that various levels of Lavan and Aisav are sequentially corrected from the top down: 1) לובן העליון נותן כח לברר…

This Maamar explores the Vayishlach maamarim of the Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe, how they all flow along the theme of the Parsha from the beginning until Shlishi. It also explores an initial idea that the Mitteler Rebbe later refutes but does not remove from the מאמר. That even in פנימיות התורה there is…

Vayishlach, Yaakov’s hope to meet Eisav in his source are dashed. Yaakov then deals and elevates the actual Eisav, but then refuses to join him in Seiir, as the Geula has been delayed. His children will have to complete the task.

Lavan’s kiss spiritually empowers Avoda. Lavan then departs so not to interfere with free will.
