Transforming Esau

Vayishlach | Genesis, Bereishis, Bereishit | 6 December 2022

The Rebbe taught this discourse on Shabbat Vayishlach, 1982.  Jacob's goal was to transform Esau to good.  This was the inner meaning in his wrestling with the angel, whom the Sages tell us was the angel of Esau. Meanwhile Jacob's family could advance towards the physical Esau, without fear.
