Is Esav Hates Yaakov Illogical To You | TORAH FOUNDATION (5)
https://youtu.be/2YXh915NtrY
Have you had trouble understanding why the halacha that Esav hates Yaakov makes sense today? In the wake of horrific and brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk, many famous Jews have shared their outcry. Among them were Rabbis who took it a step further calling him a tzadik and the Abraham of the generation, despite the fact that he publicly stated that his dream is for all Jews to abandon the Torah and adopt Christianity chas v'shalom. Do his praises and "defense" of the state of Israel and physical jewish lives make him a tzadik, or does the halacha of Esav hate Yaakov still apply?
Once we know the answer, we'll understand how to understand the public outcry by so many. This lecture is not for the faint of heart or people that cannot accept the truth of the Torah at face value. It will certainly crush certain ideologies and even irritate some beyond the norm. But this is the Torah and it will not be changed
