כששמע יעקב חלומותיו של יוסף, גער בו ואמר "מה הַחֲלוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר חָלָמְתָּ הֲבוֹא נָבוֹא אֲנִי וְאִמְּךָ וְאַחֶיךָ לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לְךָ אָרְצָה" (בראשית לז:י), ורש"י מסביר, "והלא אמך כבר מתה", ומביא מחז"ל: "ורבותינו למדו מכאן שאין חלום בלא דברים בטלים", שתמיד יש רמת אי דיוק, שהאמא שהתייחס אליה בחלום היתה בלהה, שגדלה את יוסף כאמא. ויעקב [...]

Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed (Bereishis 32:8) Rashi comments in the name of Chazal that Yaakov was distressed for two separate reasons: First, that Yaakov would be killed and secondly, that Yaakov would kill others. The first answer that perhaps he would be killed is readily understood: He was afraid for his [...]

תופעות לוואי של הדת

"וַיִּירָא יַעֲקֹב מְאֹד, וַיֵּצֶר לוֹ" (בראשית לב:ח) ניתן להבין בקלות: הוא חשש לחייו ולכן היה יירא מאד. אבל מדוע זה ייצר לו אם ייאלץ להרוג אחרים? ברור שאם יעקב היה בסכנה, הוא היה מחויב להרוג את התוקף שלו כדי להציל את חייו, כפי שחז"ל מלמדים אותנו "הבא להרגך, השכם להרגו!" לכן, אם עשו יתקוף את [...]

Belief and What You Do

Yaakov Avinu was the originator of tefillas Arvis. This tefilla is very different from shacharis and mincha, as both of those are obligatory, whereas Arvis is optional. This idea is difficult to understand: If one is supposed to daven Arvis, why should he not be obligated? And if it is indeed optional, what is the [...]

אמונה ומעשים

יעקב אבינו תקן תפילת ערבית. תפילה זו שונה מאוד משחרית ומנחה, משום ששניהם חיוביים, ואילו ערבית היא רשות. קשה להבין את הרעיון הזה: אם אדם אמור להתפלל ערבית, מדוע היא לא חיוב? ואם זה אכן לא חובה, מה הרעיון של "תפילת רשות", שתקן יעקב? הגמרא מספרת לנו שתפילת מעריב תואם את שריפת אברים ופדרים שלא [...]

“Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me.” (Bereishis 27:3) The question that puzzles everyone is “Was Yitzchak really so hungry?” Why was it necessary for him to have food in order to give a blessing?” There are many [...]
