What’s said in this shiur

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

Forgive me for being so good, because last week I didn't know about the history of the Jews, and that is of course a close connection, but if we agree more broadly, it is actually the history of the Jews and the Jews who went out and sent away, this is the bigger story, in fact, we are in Parashat Veitzer, bigger story, in fact, we are in Parashat Veitzer, taking a break from Esau. Last week, in Parashat Veitzer, there is the birth of Jacob and Esau, and after that there is the sale of the firstborn, and after that there is this very, very close dynamic of Jacob and Esau with each other. In three sessions, three cycles, which is the fourth cycle, Parashat Veitzer, and then history speaks for itself.

In Hertz, there is an Esau site here, until the end, but actually Parashat Veitzer is a parashat that gives us a little bit of a focus on Jacob alone, without Jacob and Esau, because no, not Jacob the nationalist, but Jacob Jacob, which is actually him leaving the field, the field where the problematic arena called the Land of Israel takes place, where there is the clarification of who is the son, who is the eldest, who is the one Not the eldest, who continues the legacy of Abraham eldest, who continues the legacy of Abraham and the house of Abraham, so it's related to the previous and the next parasha, but this parasha is more focused on the character of our forefather Jacob with the emergence of the next generation, which is the tribes, 11 out of 12 tribes. So what I really do first is do a
