Thus in this epic battle between Yaakov Avinu and the Saro shel Eisav, the Angel – upon having lost – can tell Yaakov “Now is my time to say ‘Shirah’ – precisely because you were able to beat me.” Sensitivity Goreres (Leads to More) Sensitivity The parsha contains the pasuk [verse] “Now Dinah – the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Yaakov – went out to look over the daughters of the land.” [Bereishis 34:1] This is one of the more disturbing incidents in the tumultuous life of Yaakov Avinu.

It is as if we were speaking to a heretic and we said to him “You should know, throughout my time with my evil uncle, I kept the laws of Cholov Yisrael and I kept the laws of Pas Yisrael.” What effect will it have on Eisav that Yaakov kept the 613 mitzvos in Lavan’s house? The pasuk says, “…and Eisav
