Parshat Toledot: Getting the Brachot even when you look like Eisav
- Schwartz, Rabbi Yonason
- Rivka wanted Yaakov to receive the blessings while dressed as Esav because she was the mother of Klal Yisrael. She knew that in the future there would be many Jews who outwardly look like Esav, but inside, they carry the soul of Yaakov… yearning to be close to Hashem.
