Toldos newsletter: Why did Yitzchok get the blessings like this?!?

??"?

In this week's Parsha, Yitzchok gave the blessings to Yaakov – thinking that he's Eisav… Why? Why did HaShem make that Yaakov had to get the blessings in such a way?! ?

The question can be asked more broadly, why do we have the concept of lying in this world?!

The Serfas Emes answers, the concept of lying is here to use for the purpose of the truth, sometimes lying needs to happen so the truth can shine,

?In our case, Eisav misused all his blessings he had – already – for his own greedy purposes and not for the benefit of society, therefore it was Yaakov who had take the blessings, even with the price of a tiny lie.

We have to look at the bigger picture, as long as the main purpose is to do the right thing.

The Sefas emes concludes, with one tiny dot of truth we can defeat and overcome loads of falseness, because only truth and honesty can and will exist, everything else will be diminished.

This is a tremendous Chizuk for us, we – sometimes – find ourselves lost and stuck in front of mountains of corruption and dishonesty… All we have to do is to stick with the truth, everything else will crumble, because that's how HaShem created the world.

HaShem created the world, that the truth and honesty is stronger and mightier that all falsity and duplicity!
