Eisav said, is he not rightly called yaakov, he has deceived me twice

there’s a mashal that says….

A poor man needed to raise money to support his family. With no other choice, he went to rabbanim and asked for a letter of support so that people will give him. He got honorable letters to take along to the big cities to meet some rich guys and cousins.

On the way he met a pauper who was headed the same way, and the two started talking about their plights. The first man told his friend his intentions. That night, the 2nd man went and stole the first guy’s letters and snuck out in middle of the night with them. He traveled alone to the relatives of the first man and passed himself off as their unfortunate relative, and got quite a bit of sympathy and cash.

The next day the two paupers met again. The first man realized what had been done to him and was inconsolable. “How could you do such a low down thing to me, I trusted you, I confided in you…

“What’s the big deal” asked the second man. “Here, take the papers and go back to them, talk to your relatives, they are so nice, I’m sure they’ll take care of you.

The first man looked at him as if he was from outer space. “What good will that do me now? Had you not used my name, I could still go and talk to my relatives, and they would help me. But now that they think that you are really me, there’s nothing left to give to the real me.!”

The Dubner Maggid, R’ Yaakov Krantz ZTL, explains…

Eisav cried because he felt that yaakov stole his brachos. Had he gone in using the correct name- Yaakov- he would’ve never received the special brachos which were intended for eisav. But now that he used the name Eisav and took the blessings, there was nothing left for the real Eisav. thus, Eisav told his father, but you named him Yaakov- Let him use his own name!

#Perek ??-??

When Eisav heard his father’s words, he wailed a most loud and bitter cry, and he said to his father, “belss me, too, my father”

when discussing Eisav’s reaction to the news that his brother had tricked him and had received the blessing of the first-born instead of him. the medrash states the following. “one cry yaakov elicited from Eisav. When was the retribution? in the city of shushan.”

The medrash is short and cryptic; as a result of yaakov avinu’s actions- the fact that he made his brother cry- his descendants were punished thousands of years later with the awful decree of haman ” to destroy, to kill and eradicate all the jews.”

If you think about it, It’s incredible! Yaakov avinu was fullfilling the command of his mother rivka, and even more than that, was rightfully entitled to receive the blessings. Yet, on account that he caused a wicked man to cry, the jews were nearly wiped off the map and needed the miracle of purim to save the day!

R’ reuven Grozovsky explains that chazal are teaching us how far-reaching is the act of causing another human being pain, even when that human is a a non-jew or even a wicked rasha! one who causes another person to suffer, even if they deserve to suffer, is considered as he personally lifted a sword and plunged it into the victim. It is so terrible to be the instrument that is used to effect infliction on other human beings.

we see that even a righteous tzaddik like yaakov avinu was held accountable for causing his brother pain, and over a thousand years later, the jews nearly saw their own extinction, in the stroy of haman and his wicked plans.
