Parsha Toldot

| 2 Comments

In Parsha Toldot there is a lot of fighting. It is the Parsha where Jacab tricks Esau into giving him his birthright. Jacob also gets the special blessing and Esau want to kill Jacob. Today we watched a video about Parsha Toldot and it had all this stuff in it, we also have to chose a question about the Parsha and my first question is… Why does Issac favor one son and Rebecca the other? Issac favors Esau because he loves Esau’s love of hunting. Issac also loves all the meat Esau brings home after he hunts. Rebecca favors Jacob because he is calm and she loves him more. I don’t think that is the best reason but it still is one. My next question is… Have you ever experienced being the favored of less-favored child? I have not experienced being the favored of less-favored sister because my parents just treat us mostly the same except for what time we go to bed where we get to go and lots of other things. Now for my last question which is… Why do you think this happens and how does it feel? I don’t think it will feel the best but they both have a parent who loves them and I think that it is fair that they both have a parent who loves them. I think I got a really good understanding on this Parsha.
