And Yitzchak loved Esav because game was in his mouth, and Rivka loves Yaakov<\/p>\nBereishit 25:28<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b6\u05bc\u05d0\u05b1\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05e7 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05be\u05e2\u05b5\u05e9\u05b8\u05c2\u05d5 \u05db\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05be\u05e6\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05d3 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e4\u05b4\u05d9\u05d5” Yitzchak loved Eisav because he had game in his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “\u05d5\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b9\u05d4\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05ea \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05be\u05d9\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e7\u05b9\u05d1” Rivka loves Yaakov. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yitzchak\u2019s love is described in the past tense (\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b6\u05bc\u05d0\u05b1\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1) while Rivka\u2019s love is in the present tense (\u05d0\u05b9\u05d4\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05ea). Also notice that Yitzchak\u2019s love for Eisav comes with a reason \u201c\u05db\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05be\u05e6\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05d3 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e4\u05b4\u05d9\u05d5\u201d while Rivka\u2019s love for Yaakov states no reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fatherly Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A father doesn\u2019t need a \u2018because\u2019, a reason to love a child. Parental love is natural, instinctive. So why does the Torah state a reason why Yitzchak loved Eisav?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chazal explain that Eisav was a master of deception. He looked<\/em> righteous. He asked halachic questions, like whether one must take maaser<\/em> (giving a 10th of ones possession to charity) from salt, a food that doesn\u2019t require maaser <\/em>at all. This sounds like piety. To Yitzchak, Eisav\u2019s apparent frumkeit <\/em>was admirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Rivka knew the truth. Raised in the home of Lavan, she knew what a faker looked like from miles away. She was not fooled for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she saw something else too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sibling Rivalry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yaakov and Eisav grew up together and Eisav seemed to be earning all their father\u2019s admiration. You might expect Yaakov to try to \u201coutdo\u201d Eisav, ask deeper halachic questions, bring even tastier food, ect. but Yaakov doesn\u2019t compete at all. He continued to sit and learn, serving Hashem dutifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gemara tells us that in the times of the Beit Hamikdash<\/em> (Holy temple), two witnesses were needed to testify about the new moon. If a witness claimed \u201cthe sun was seen on the dark side of the moon,\u201d Beit Din <\/em>(Jewish court) knew he was a false witness because\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c\u05dc\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05ea\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d7\u05b7\u05de\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4 \u05e4\u05b0\u05bc\u05d2\u05b4\u05d9\u05de\u05b8\u05ea\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05dc \u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b8\u05e0\u05b8\u05d4\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun has never seen the dark side of the moon.<\/p>\nBavli Rosh HaShanah 23b<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Sun And The Moon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sun and the moon can be a parable. The sun represents the nations of the world and the moon represents the Jewish people. The greatness of the greatest gentile does no not come close to the greatness of the simplest Jew. Hashem (God) loves us simply because we are His children. But when He looks at the other nations and compares us with them, His love for us grows even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so too Rivka. She loves Yaakov because of who Yaakov is, and when she compares him to Eisav, her love for him grows even more. That\u2019s why the Torah says “\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b6\u05bc\u05d0\u05b1\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05e7” in past tense.
Yitzchak loved Eisav until he found out the truth about his wicked son<\/a>. But Rivka\u2019s love was present tense – \u05d0\u05b9\u05d4\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05ea, always growing, increasing every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Torah is teaching a lesson for life. In Shema, we say: \u201c\u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b8\u05e0\u05b9\u05db\u05b4\u05d9 \u05de\u05b0\u05e6\u05b7\u05d5\u05b6\u05bc\u05da\u05b8 \u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd\u201d \u201c\u2026that I command you today<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep It Fresh!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hashem gave us the Torah some 3,000 years ago, what does \u201ctoday\u201d mean? Every day that we serve Hashem whether through prayers or mitzvot, should feel like the first day we received the Torah at Har Sinai<\/em> (Mount Sinai). Every mitzvah should feel fresh, new, alive. Our goal should be to keep Yiddishkeit fresh and new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let our love for mitzvot be like Rivka\u2019s love for Yaakov – in present tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
