A look at the Torah portion of Vayishlach through the eyes of Breslov Chassidus with Chaim Kramer.
What does Yaakov fight? The evil eye. Esav. Bad news, Appeasement.

Binyamin is born, the only one of the tribes born in Eretz Yisrael.

Chaim Kramer discusses this week’s Torah portion Toldot, which focuses on the spiritual and material conflict between Jacob and Esau, beginning before they were even born, through the selling of the birthright for a bowl of lentil soup, and continuing today. Reb Chaim shows the connection between Rebbe Nachman’s story, The Exchanged Children, and the ongoing battle between Yakov and Esav, both the external battle and the internal battle, that of body and soul.

When we feel we are faced with tremendous, intense struggles, we should be like Yaakov, and fight our difficulties with intense prayer. All our main effort should be prayer.

This week on BreslovCampus, Meir Elkabas discusses the Torah portion, Parshat Vayeitzei with insights from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. Yaakov famously slept one night when he had the dream of the ladder, but he didn’t sleep for fourteen years when he was working for Rachel and Leah. Reb Meir explains Rebbe Nachman’s discussion of “sleep-mode” Torah vs. “awakened-mode” Torah in light of the parsha, and Yaakov’s efforts for Rachel and Leah.

In part 2 of Reb Meir’s discussion of the Torah portion, he explains how we can look at ourselves and ask: Are we in sleep-mode Torah or awake-mode Torah?
