A Message for Eisav




by Rabbi David Hanania Pinto

"And he said, "If Eisav comes to one camp and strikes it down, the remaining camp will escape."
 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אִם־יָב֥וֹא עֵשָׂ֛ו אֶל־הַמַּֽחֲנֶ֥ה הָאַחַ֖ת וְהִכָּ֑הוּ וְהָיָ֛ה הַמַּֽחֲנֶ֥ה הַנִּשְׁאָ֖ר לִפְלֵיטָֽה  [Vayishlach 32:9]

Take a look at the word in the Torah "והכהו" - ''strikes it down''.   Whether we read it forwards or backwards, it is the same word.

There is a great message here, as is found in the Sefer Da'at Chachamim. Every blow, every wound that the gentiles inflict on Am Yisroel, will eventually rebound and hit them back in the face.

  1. Beautiful. As I always say, it will all boomerang on them.

  2. There have been many miracles. I barely got a chance to read, thus barely know any. But someone told me that a woman was planning to fly to the Nova festival from the U.S. She only kept Yom Kippur, nothing else. Anyway, that Yom Kippur, her phone kept ringing. But she refrained from answering, because that was the only Jewish holiday she kept.

    After Y"K she found out that the bank account she'd been planning on withdrawing funds from to pay her airfare to the Israeli festival, had been cleaned out by a scammer, and the bank had been trying to reach her. She was so upset, that her reward for keeping the holiday was to be scammed. Then, of course, she learned of the Oct.7th massacre. I don't know the end of the story, such as whether she blessed Birkat Gomel, or more.

  3. From the YT Or Hageula channel

    Tonight, Tues night, the 53rd day, hostages returned and one of them is called Yagel Yaakov. Precisely in perek 53,

    O that the salvations of Israel would come out of Zion; when God returns the captivity of His people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

    HaKadosh Baruch Hu is hinting to us that despite all the pain and suffering, very soon He will take us out of the exile and bring us into the geula, and there will be great joy in am yisrael.

    There is a hint in the verse to the great and terrible judgment, because Hashem's name is Elokim and not the havaya. For this reason, we all have to strengthen ourselves in Torah, mitzvot and good deeds, to keep the kabalot we made and not to cease from praying to Abba she'beshamayim to save us.

    הלילה ליל שלישי ה 53 חזרו החטופים ואחד מהם הוא יגל יעקב ובדיוק במזמור נג' של התהלים כתוב : מִ֥י יִתֵּ֣ן מִצִּיּוֹן֮ יְשׁוּעַ֢ת יִשְׂרָ֫אֵ֥ל בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הֹוָה שְׁב֣וּת עַמּ֑וֹ *יָגֵ֥ל יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב* יִשְׂמַ֥ח יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

    הקב"ה רומז לנו שלמרות כל הצער והסבל, בקרוב ממש הקב"ה יוציא אותנו מהגלות ויכניס אותנו אל הגאולה ותהיה שמחה גדולה בעם ישראל.

    יש רמז בפסוק על הדין הגדול והנורא כי כתוב אלוקים ולא הויה ועל כן כולנו חייבים להתחזק בתורה,מצוות ומעשים טובים, לשמור על הקבלות שלקחנו ולא להפסיק להתפלל אל אבא שבשמים שיושיע אותנו.

  5. That's amazing LL. I can't look at that particular boy's face because he reminds me so much of my own grandson. Thank G-d he's home.
