Every year, religious Jews and Christians read the Bible from the beginning, starting with Genesis. The Book of Genesis primarily concerns two themes: ethical monotheism and family. This week we read the story of the selling of the birthright by Esau to his younger brother, Jacob. In case you don’t know, Esau and Jacob are the two children of Isaac and Rebekah. I believe that this has an incredibly significant message for not only all Jews, but all parents around the world, the implications of which we are seeing play out in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and by extension the Palestinian people.
