Parshas Toldos 5787
R’ Yosef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik zt”l (Beis Halevi) would say:
“'הקול קול יעקב והידים ידי עשו' - Yaakov’s voice was completely opposite to Esav’s hands. Yitzchok should have examined the situation more carefully instead of immediately assuming that the person before him was Esav. Why did he not investigate further? Esav had feared that Yaakov would take the berachos from him, so he arranged with Yitzchok to speak like Yaakov. That way, if Yaakov tried to take the berachos, he would have to imitate Esav’s manner of speaking. Yaakov understood Esav’s plan and deliberately continued speaking in his own natural voice without changing it.”
A Wise Man would say: “Always remember that for every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
