I S S U E 848 Toledot / November 28, 2024 / Cheshvan 27, 5785 Dear Friend, An insight by the Rebbe on parshat Toledot, selected from our Daily Wisdom, by Rabbi Moshe Wisnefsky. Rebecca convinced Isaac to send Jacob away to Rebecca's brother Laban in Aram, in order to find a wife. Although Laban was wicked, his daughters Leah and Rachel were righteous. Ancestors and Ancestors Jacob obeyed his father and mother and went to Padan Aram. (Gen. 28:7) It is indeed important to be proud of our holy ancestors and evoke their merit daily. But it is equally important to recall that their ancestors were pagans, and that G-d mercifully removed us from that environment, enlightening us with His Torah and enabling us to lead truly meaningful and purposeful lives. Along these lines, the Talmudic sage Rabbi Yosef would always celebrate the holiday of Shavu'ot, the anniversary of the Giving of the Torah, with a lavish meal, saying, "Were it not for this day, I would be like any other Yosef walking in the marketplace!" --Daily Wisdom Volume 3 May G-d grant resounding victory and peace in the Holy Land.
