Ramazei DiOraysa: Hints in the Torah

Volume 1 Issue 6

The Gemara (Megillah 6a) states that Yitzchak wished that HaShem should favor Esav but when HaShem informed Yitzchak that Esav (his descendants) would destroy the Bais HaMikdash, Yitzchak desisted. It is noteworthy that the name Esav (376) is equal in gematria to the word machariv habinyan, destroyer of the building (377).

It is said (Bereishis 25:23) ushnei liumim mimeiayich yipareidu, two… Continue

Tefillah Thoughts

Hashem answers before we pray

In the next few issues we will discuss the verse that states (Yeshaya 65:24) vihayah terem yikrau vaani eeneh od heim midabrim vaani eshma, it will be before that they call I will… Continue

A WINING PERSONALITY

Since the womb the rivalry between Yaakov and Esaiv has set the paradigm for the ongoing struggle between good and evil. Therefore, each event where their lives intersect should be viewed in the context as a contest for world domination.
