Rabbi Shlomo in prison again on Portion of Toledot? What's really wrong with ISIS?

Well - not exactly - but he used to visit prisons a lot - sing, tell stories, give out hugs, etc.

There's the famous story about the murderer who told him after a little concert:
"If I had gotten some hugs in my life I would have never turned to crime"!

So - where did Esav go wrong when his twin brother Jacob went "right"?

Some say it's hard to be brought up by two great parents.
And the pressure of having a studious and brilliant twin doesn't make it any easier!

The portion says Isaac was going blind - he didn't "see" what was going on!

BUT WHAT AN WE LEARN FROM READING BETWEEN THE LINES -

and from our Masters of the Inside of the Torah?

From my friend Rabbi Shlomo Brodt who wrote:

Surely (Rivka our great great grandmother - Isaac's wife) prays up in heaven
that Eisav (Jacob's not- so good to us twin) and that all of us
will do tshuvah (repent) and ... will come to realize how much we need to be connected
with (the) real tzadikkim and tzadkkaniot (righteous people).

Surely she is praying that we will not stop praying!

That TODAY we need to SEE what's going on - in our families and around us -

and throw a little extra love out at the world!

The world is jealous of Israel - for turning a desert into a garden,
and for building a just society from people evicted from every continent - and of every skin color!

So they lie about us - and kill each other - and the leaders of the world blame the Jews for everything -

So let's ALL just TELL all the leaders to SEND A FEW HUGS (and a little SHABBOS)-
(not missiles, not rockets) to ALL the peoples being lied to by their greedy leaders-

and pray that this Shabbat the world wakes up,
sees straight-
tells the ISIS people that they can't kill because there are oil-rich successful Moslem countries around them,

and be a little extra helpful and LOVING to all those around us.

SHABBAT SHALOM from ISRAEL
