In the portion of Toldot, the Zohar delivers a rarefied view of the true meaning of the struggle between Esau and Jacob. Eitan shares the Rav 's insights into the relationship of this ancient story to the struggle inherent in each of us between our evil and good inclinations and the value each has for the other. Discovering the real blessing in bargaining with our evil inclination rather than restricting it gives us a powerful tool to manifest lasting fulfillment.
Written 2,000 years ago by Rav Shimon Bar Yochai, the Zohar explains all of the secrets of the Bible, the Universe and every aspect of life. The Zohar class is a weekly journey to understand the energy and challenges that will confront us during the week and how we can elevate our consciousness to prevent chaos from occurring in our lives.
