Update: 2025-11-19
Description
In this episode, Raymond Ashkenazie, Emma Dayan, and Henry Esses sit down with Rabbi Joseph Dweck for a thoughtful discussion on Parashat Toledot. Through a close reading of the text, Rabbi Dweck explains the meaning of Yitzchak’s blessings to Yaakov and Esav, how those blessings relate to the Land of Israel, and what the Torah reveals about Esav’s character that ultimately leads to the loss of both the birthright and the blessing.
Rabbi Joseph Dweck is the former Rosh Yeshivah of Barkai Yeshivah and has served for the past decade as the Senior Rabbi of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Community of the United Kingdom. He is currently in the process of making Aliyah.
