Shabbat Shalom. This week’s parasha, parashat Toldot, focuses on sibling rivalry. In the Torah, siblings have always been at odds in one way or another. One of the most drastic examples is Kane and Able, the first siblings in the Torah. Their relationship was torn apart because of a rivalry. The rivalry ended with fratricide when Kane rose up and killed Able.
In this morning’s parasha, we learn that Rifka’s two sons are struggling inside her. Rifka then goes to G-d and is told that the older son will serve the younger son. ורב יעבד ציר.When the twins are born, the younger son Yaakov, is holding onto Esau, the older son’s ankle. Why does he do this? He might have been trying to push Esau aside. Maybe he was searching for his brother’s Achilles

Little did they know that Rifka was listening and relaying the message to Yaakov. Rifka tells Yaakov to bring her two baby goats so they can make the meal first. Rifka then dresses Yaakov in Esau’s clothes. Why are Esau’s clothes in his mother’s house when he is a grown man? Rashi explains that Esau does not trust his wives. Rabbi Johnathon Sax provides us with a beautiful explanation. According to Sax Esau had great respect for his father. He would remove his hunter’s clothes and put on his finest clothes when he came to visit his father. Rifka is sure her plan will work whereas Yaakov is skeptical that his father will fall for their switch, but instead of pointing out that it is wrong to trick Yitzchak, Yaavok simply says: what if my father gives me a קללה ולא ברכה a curse and not a blessing. Yaakov tricks his father and receives the blessing just in time because Esau comes back from the field and is enraged when he discovers that his blessing is gone. When Rifka realizes that Yaakov could be in danger she sends him away to her brother Lavan the trickster of the tricksters. Takes one to know one right? Yaakov successfully tricks his father and receives the blessing, but in return what does he lose. He is separated from his family for 20 years. During that time, he was unaware to what was happening with the rest of his family. Toldot ends with Yaakov running away from

When two siblings are born together, and are close in age, many people wonder whether they will be the same or different altogether. A “River Runs through it” shows two brothers who grew up in the same household, and grew up loving to do the same activity fly fishing.

Paul is the irresponsible younger brother; Paul as an adult was not at home much anymore. Both brothers were loved equally as children, but how they view and use love is what separates them.

Most children experience agony and hope as they face the struggles of sibling rivalry throughout their childhood. This situation has been experienced by children, of whom may or may not have siblings, for hundreds of years.

Although Samuel Beckett's tragicomedy, Waiting for Godot, has no definite meaning or interpretation, the play acts as a statement of hopelessness regarding human existence. Debate surrounds the play because, due to its simplicity, almost any interpretation is valid. The main characters, Vladimir and Estragon, are aging men who must wait for a person, being, or object named Godot, but this entity never appears to grace the men with this presence. Both characters essentially demonstrate how one must go through life when hope is nonexistent as they pointlessly attempt to entertain themselves with glum conversation in front of a solitary tree. The Theater of the Absurd, a prevalent movement associated with Waiting for Godot, serves as the basis for the message of hopelessness in his main characters. Samuel Beckett's iconic Waiting for Godot and his perception of the characteristics and influence of the Theater of the Absurd illustrate the pointlessness and hopelessness regarding existence. In the play, boredom is mistaken for hopelessness because the men have nothing to do, as they attempt to occupy themselves as, for some reason, they need to wait for Godot. No hope is present throughout the two-act play with little for Estragon and Vladimir to occupy their time while they, as the title indicates, wait for Godot.
