Rav Asher Weiss @ TC: Short Thought on Parshas Toldos (5786)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So this week's para is fundamentally two stories. Two stories that have something in common. The beginning of the par is about the and the continuation of the par it's about the brahas and both these stories when learned leip shutan are somewhat troubling. The title describes Yanko as a is a the most honest and innocent person. In this week's PI does not seem to be so innocent or so honest. The story of the Pra Yankov is taking advantage of Asv's desperation. Asov comes home from the field and he's going to faint. And he tells Yankov, "I'm dying. Give me something to drink." And Yankeev says, "Oh my dear beloved brother, I'm so happy to help you, but first sign this document." And ASV says, "What am I signing? First, give me something to drink." And Isa says, "No, no, no. Just wait a moment. Sign. Please sign here." And ASV asks, "What is it?" And Jacob says it's just about the sign and I'll give you to drink. If Yakim and Asa would come to my basin and ASV would say this transaction is not valid. I wasn't in a proper state of mind. He took advantage of my desperation. I thought I'm going to die. I would probably rule in favor of Asov and invalidate this case based on I don't have time to explain the gamora. Look it up and you'll see why I think that this transaction is questionable. And then we come to the other story which is even more troubling. a conspiration between Rifka and Yankeev to fool this old blind sadic and get the brahas out of him in a totally dishonest way. So am I questioning Yanko Venos situs? No. We need to learn this part with this Z. And when we learn this Z,
