An Interactive Parsha Experience: Toldot – Building Blocks

Parshat Toldot tells the fascinating story of a child’s desire to remember his past generation by emulating the same behaviors of his father. As seen in the earlier chapters of Bereishit Avraham moves south, meets a king, avoids famine and finds water. In parshat Toldot we read how Yitzhak does the same.

1. There is a famine in the land that forces Yitzhak to head toward Egypt.
2. Yitzhak settles in Canaan.
3. Yitzhak digs the same wells in Be’er Sheva.
4. Yitzhak makes peace with a Philistine king, Avimelech.

Yitzhak’s main role was to take the ‘radical’ new ideas of Avraham and firmly establish them in society.
