Episode Synopsis

- Transition from a previous time of recognizing in the world of דין a world of indeterminacy, to recognizing a world of paradox. The questioning of רבקה. This חרדה גדולה עד מאוד is that one is concerned that he can lead a different life, which doesn't concern him in the end because he can put on different cloths. יעקב comes to recognize that the different לבושים of the world become meaningful becomes of the context of the שדה which makes them meaningful. From now on, it is not a neutral playing field, but one in the context of השדה אשר בירכו ה'. So תפארת can go backwards and redefine what happens to the אבות themselves… (complete from audio)
This allows for a new period of paradox which we sense all the time, in which we sense that we don't know where we're going, what we're really achieving, and that the world is achieving much more! The need for עמודיה שבעה, when one does not have access, or has something by rejecting other things, becomes עבודה זרה. Context makes everything Torah, the not asking of נדב ואביהו
