Reflecting on Our Decisions: How the Torah's Narrative of Esav Can Guide Personal Growth and Redemption

In 1867, the Russian Empire sold more than 586,000 square miles of land to the United States of America for a meager and measly $7.2 million in one of the most one-sided real estate transactions in history, known as the Alaska Purchase. An entire state believe, the largest state if you just measure the land of it sold to us for what is practically nothing in terms of buying states. But all of this still doesn't compare to the one-sided nature of Ace of sending the birthright over to Yako for some challenge. It doesn't even look like good showing some red ketchup eat challenge. He sold his legacy, his destiny, he sold eternity for challenge. But you know what the Tyra does not tell us, that Ace of spurned and despised the bakhoyra because he sold it for just some challenge. No, the Bozik says Vayyayi kha vayesh. The Ace of came back and he ate and he drank. And then Vayyayi kham vayayilach still no despising or spurning of the birthright. But now that he rose and he went away, vayyiv as Ace of is ha bakhoyra. Then, and only then, does the Tyra say wow, you really looked with disdain upon the birthright. You have been mavazed, says the Ramban, because achar ochh vashasa. He ate, drank and he made one of the worst decisions in history, but he went right back out to the field, khazar asada al-Tzidah. He went right back out to sport, right back to the bow and arrow, went out even the slightest care. And then Bezu sibas, bizhoyab bakhoyra, and that was the causation for the bezhoyun that Ace of was mavaza desh bakhoyra. It's very real how we react to things. It seems we all make bad decisions. That's well known, and even Ace of made one of the worst decisions in history, but yet still, that wasn't a bezhoyun. It was only after he was totally unaffected by it that he just got up, he ate, he drank and went back out to continue playing football. Does the Tyra say, wow, you really have spurned the birthright? So maybe if we do make a bad decision, we do sleep in when we should have gotten up, we do mishandle some situation, we have that little nagging feeling of guilt. Maybe it's not the worst thing in the world, maybe it's because we really do have our priorities straight and let that drive us to do better in the future, but God forbid to be completely unaffected by some mishap. Well, that's why Yves, ace of is habokhoyra and Ace of spurned the birthright.
