Toldot (Generations) Gen 25-28

Torah Portion: Toldot (Generations) Genesis 25:19-28:9

HafTorah: Malachi 1:1-2:7

This week we read of the struggle between two boys, twins, born to G-dly parents, raised in the same home and yet turning out completely different. One could say they started out parve but became milk and meat as we read about them. One was a dweller in tents and the other a man of the field. How did this strife come about in such a G-dly atmosphere? Abraham was still alive during their early years, probably helping with their development. How did it happen?
