The Alef Kabbala group (6 Nov 07) studied a discourse by the Lubavitcher Rebbe said on Shabbat Toledot 5728 (1967) on the verse "And G-d (Elokim) should give you", the blessing given by Isaac to Jacob (disguised as Esau). The discourse explores the idea that the blessing is from Elokim, the aspect of Severity, which is also the nature of Isaac. There is discussion of why Isaac wished to bless Esau, and why despite this, the blessing had to go to Jacob, as planned by Rebecca.
