The sixth Parashah of Torah is a fork in the road for Abraham's legacy. Things could have gone very differently, and possibly they were supposed to. In spite of what can only be seen as some really poor behaviour all around, our story will make its way forward, leading towards the tribes of Israel and the next stage of the book of Genesis. As you listen to the Parashah, remember to think critically about both Jacob and Esau. Simple solutions to complex problems may sound inviting, but most commonly they're not very helpful. We need to read Torah with diligence, reason, compassion and faith. Yes, it's a hard mix, and Parashat Toldot will exercise those muscles of yours.
