Parshas Toldos Rabbi Yissocher Frand In this week’s parsha, Hashem promises Yitzchak, “I will increase your offspring like the stars of the heavens and will give to your offspring all these lands; and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by your offspring. Maybe God can reward me in this world with the reward of wearing ‫ תפילין‬for one day?” The ‫ חיים חפץ‬responded with the following ‫ משל‬:You go into a little shop with a 10,000 ruble banknote (in our currency a £100,000 banknote) to buy a box of matches which costs 30p! In a famous answer, the Ramban says that the Avos only fully kept the future laws of the Torah inEretz Yisrael, “for the Torah is the rule of the G-d of the Land” and Yaakov’s simultaneous marriage to two sisters ended before Yaakov returned from Charan to Eretz Yisrael. Rav Yaakov said something to the effect of: “When I get to be the Chofetz Chaim’s age, I too will wear Rabbeinu Tam’s Tefillin.” When someone is 25 or 30 years old, he can easily say “Yes, when I’m 85 I will put on Rabbeinu Tam’s Tefillin.” In those days, people’s life expectancies were certainly not into their eighties or nineties. The Chumash continues: “And Yitzchak dug anew the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Avraham his father and the Plishtim had stopped them up after Avraham’s death; and he called them by the same names that his father had called them.” (Bereshis 26:18) Avraham dug wells and the Plishtim stopped them up. How much have you got?” Embarrassed and ashamed, the poor man replies, “1 ruble!” They all snap up in laughter, saying, “We don’t even own anything worth one ruble!” Then, one of them jumps up and remarks, “Actually, I do have something worth 1 ruble which I am willing to sell you. This is how everyone reads this famous Ramban: He is trying to answer the question ‘How can it be that the Avos kept the entire Torah before it was given, and yet Yaakov married two sisters?’ The Ramban answers: His marriage to them was only in chutz l’Aretz!
