Many a kingdom has been lost, many rivers of blood spilled for the sake of honor. Not Judah. Judah has within himself the majesty of his Creator; his kingship is no less than the Kingship, in a mortal guise, of G-d Himself. From: The Artscroll Tanach Series–Volume 1(b).

The declaration of Leah expressed Judah’s essence–“I have taken more than than my share.” Leah only expressed gratitude, but the newborn Judah was the very essence of ascribing everything to G-d’s will. From: The Artscroll Tanach Series–Volume 1(b).

Judah’s appeal to Joseph was in reality a prayer for G-d’s help. Only a Divine punishment could have heaped such harshness agains them, so only G-d’s help could spare them. Judah’s words were directed to Joseph, but in his heart he was speaking to G-d. From: The Artscroll Tanach Series–Volume 1(b).

Since unity is so essential to Israel’s destiny, it is clear that the forces that unify the nation must be cherised and nurtured. The Torah uses the metaphor of ‘neck’, because the neck serves as the conduit from the brain to the body. Both the Temple and the neckcarry messages from above to the national and individual bodies.

Daily Torah series available Sunday-Friday.
There is an ongoing battle in our souls between the forces of good and the forces of evil. When we triumph over the evil, we benefit not only ourselves, but also the evil, whose Divine mission is to be defeated by the good. In this teaching, based on a teaching from Rabbi Ginsburgh, Sam guides us through the symbolism of Jacob’s battle with the archangel of Esau. When we understand the inner meaning of this battle within our souls, we can rectify ourselves and our surroundings and manifest God’s Divine light in all of reality. From: Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh
