November 17, 2023ד״פשת ולסכ ’ד תודלות תשרפ INTERNAL VALUE 4:03 PMDear Parents,When Eisav demanded food, he said: הזה םודאה םודאה ןמ אנ יניטיעלה ושע רמאיו – pour from the red soup down my throat. The parsha begins with the birth of Yitzchak’s twin sons, Yaakov and Eisav. Shortly thereafter, the Torah records the story of the sale of the הרוכב. Eisav returned from the field tired and exhausted. He saw Yaakov cooking lentil soup, and demanded that Yaakov feed him the red food. He identified the soup solely by its color, not even bothering to call it by its real name, םישדע דיזנ. Rav Mattisyahu Solomon shlita relates that he was once visiting HaRav Shach ztzl, and Rav Shach was distributing candies to his grandchildren. He asked his grandchild if he would like a red lollipop or would prefer a different color. HaRav Solomon interjected with a question: Why is the Rosh Yeshiva encouraging the child to be like Eisav who insisted that Yaakov fetch him red food? Explain Rav Shach: It's critical to differentiate between the two cases. A child living in a world of superficial dreams and imagination. Preferring a red lollipop is standard expected behavior. Children are only capable of appreciating the external appearance of an object. The problem begins when an adult refuses to mature and elects to live a superficial life without appreciating life’s internal value. When Eisav requested that Yaakov provide him with the red food, he was demonstrating his singular focus on externals. Although most of us don’t spend our days pursuing red lollipops and red stew, the Rosh HaYeshiva’s message is relevant to us all. It is imperative for us to transition to a more mature outlook and perspective to recognize that people, possessions and accomplishments should be judged by their internal and deeper value.תבש טוג!
