Parshat Toldot: All's Well That Ends Well

Check out more Torah videos at www.alephbeta....
If you read through the stories of Isaac, one thing becomes extremely apparent: he is rarely the main character in his own stories! There is only one, seemingly inconsequential story where the focus is all on Isaac, and its about... digging some wells?! Why is THIS the story the Torah chooses to share about Isaac? Who cares about these wells? Is this Isaac's grand introduction? Let's explore Parshat Toldot (Genesis 29:14-28:9) together and try to understand how this introduction of Isaac is actually a perfect characterization of the Abrahamic legacy of kindness.

I appreciate the not dumbed down explanations

[@peggyschuyler1123]

This is really good. Also, I laughed at the well-come pun. Deal with it.

Amazing

I love the way you guys "South Park" the pasha, and the rhotic r you guys are using to anglicize the Hebrew. The "kh" sounds, though, you've nailed those ones. Keep it up!

Wonderful, as expected, but where is Chayei Sara animated video?

[@Jason-Jason]

Excellent

What i see right now, israel is flaunting it's blessing to the world. I know israel only wants to defend itself. History just got repeated again. I hope the third well (temple) will be built soon

ב''ה, another comment is kvetching about the Hebrew - on a Torah channel? But for short statements, transliterating the Hebrew to reveal its structure before providing these sort of KJV translations we who spend too much time thinking in English end up relying on would do more for conveying the actual structure and learning. Y'all are blessed if you picked it up anyway from the standard rabbinical fast-talking; while that's sort of the challenge and the culture, it'd save a lot of back and forth work and hoping translation software is low on pranks, particularly when it's difficult to store or schlep a proper printed dictionary that G-d might have us purchase twice.

If this is true it seems to support what the satmar rebbe said about not establishing the state of Israel until its time.

[@koriclaypool9548]

+rochel hirsch the time has come and gone. The Bible says it will happen in one day. That was in 1948.

[@Chanaaaaa442]

rochel hirsch but after that there were establishments of Israel (King David , Shlomo) so it doesn’t make sense that this support what Satmar Rebbe said...

[@stevenirwin1531]

Life needs dwell no more shackle.

[@Chanaaaaa442]

Typical story- story of our lives; jews successed, built and became wealthy and that didn’t sit well with locals... how many times?... many....

[@morehn]

The lesson seems to be that it could be prevented somewhat, as long as we show that we're not looking to establish ourselves permanently

[@eloishashalom1458]

I THANK YOU FOR I HAD UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM GOING TO DO REGARDING OF BUYING A HOUSE OR RENT. BUT IT WOULD IT BE SUPER TOV IF YOU STOP USING THE ROMAN NAMES, AND BEGAN USING THE TRUE IVRIT NAMES ONLY. SHALOM

[@fivebooks8498]

Speaking in Hebrew causes me to lose my train of thought while watching. It’s likely that nobody watching these videos speaks Hebrew so I’m not sure what the purpose of that is.

[@rsterling4427]

I myself enjoy listening to the reading. Helps me know how to pronounce things properly as I myself am learning to read it because it keeps the ordinal meaning and doesn't lose richness in translation. Motivates me to learn more hebrew.

Rabbi Fohrman, please team up with Tamir Kreisman Tent of Abraham! His parsha about Chayei Sarah and Rivka meeting Yitzhak, maaan-oh-man! "Have you fallen off the camel lately? "

[@morehn]

Tamir Kreisman doesn't believe in Judaism

[@barbarza]

@@morehn he does --- his own brothers reject him and many many others because of Mashiah Ben Yosef.

[@morehn]

@@barbarza I'm glad they do. Keeps them on the right track.
