The Root of Antisemitism - Yaakov Avinu Sending Presents to Eisav - Rabbi Duvi

What’s said in this shiur

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

Tonight's class is Refuah Shlema for Michael Chaim Yitzchak ben Rachel. Hashem should send him Refuah Shlema b'toch kol cholei amo Yisrael. Amen, ken yehi ratzon. A very powerful topic. If we might call it actually inyanei d'yoma. You know, all the are off now. They're holding between They're holding between the birth and the circumcision of the one that they believe in. Tonight, the very class is on the point of the purpose of Christianity in history. Where does this religion fall into the great master plan of Borei Olam? Ladies and gentlemen, open your hearts. Tonight is a very powerful topic. All the mar'ei mekomot from tonight's shiur, from tonight's shiur, along with many of the additives, are from a wonderful talk that I heard not too long ago from my yedid nefesh, Rav Gladstein, from Cedarhurst, New York. Hashem should bench him and give him siyata d'Shmaya kochot to continue to be marbitz Torah in Klal Yisrael. I'd like to give you over tonight a very delicate topic, but it sheds such light but it sheds such light on these days of the purpose of Christianity and these holidays of X-mas and everything that the are now celebrating, which is interesting. The day they celebrated was the day we fasted. Right? This past Friday, which was Asarah b'Tevet, an unbelievable day, like we've spoken, the great Chasam Sofer, Hatam Sofer wrote that on Asara B'Tevet that on Asara B'Tevet Hashem decides if Mashiach's going to come that year or not. It's a fast that's called all fasts. And on that very day while we're fasting they're exchanging presents and they're celebrating their day of Xmas. So, it's amazing. Let's understand a little bit better what exactly the holiday and its purpose in the master plan of Klal Yisrael really comes into effect.
