Parshat Toldot | Why Antisemitism Never Won: The Forgotten Parsha That Explains How We Survive
Description
Antisemitism is rising at a rate we haven’t seen in decades, over 300% since October 7, 2023. But this isn’t the first time. From the Crusades to the Inquisition, from pogroms to the Shoah, we’ve faced hatred, jealousy, and attacks. And yet: we’re still here. Why?
In this shiur, we explore a hidden section of the Parsha, the life of Yitzchak in Gerar, and discover how the Ramban, Kli Yakar, and other commentaries reveal that Yitzchak’s story is actually the story of Jewish history in exile.Why was Yitzchak chosen as a Patriarch? What gives the Jewish people the ability to survive every wave of antisemitism? And what can you, at home, do right now to strengthen the Jewish future?
We will trace Jewish resilience from the year 70 CE to today and uncover the single secret that carried our nation through 2,000 years of hatred.
This shiur includes powerful stories of hostages, soldiers, and the religious awakening happening across Israel today, real examples of Jewish courage, continuity, and spiritual strength.
Antisemitism never destroyed us and never will.
