Parashat Vayishlach 5782 – Cyclical History

Description: Does History repeat itself? Nachmanides thinks it does! He reads the entire standoff between Jacob and Esau as a paradigm of future events – Isael and Rome, Judaism and Christianity. What are we to make of this? Listen to this podcast.

This podcast is sponsored by Tova and Joel Weinberg in memory of our loving and dear friend Karen Shapira z”l.
A day never goes by without our thinking of her. We miss her terribly.
