n.06 Toledot
Parasha Toledot n.06
Isaac and Rebekah became parents to twins. Esau became a hunter, while Jacob remained in the camp. Isaac favored Esau, Rebekah favored Jacob. One day Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in exchange for some lentil stew. When the time came for the old and blind Isaac to bless Esau, Rebekah disguised Jacob as his older brother so he received the blessing meant for Esau. Fearful of Esau’s revenge, Jacob fled to Rebekah’s brother Laban’s house in Haran.
Parasha Toledot n.06
Isacco e Rebecca diventano genitori di due gemelli. Esaù mostra un’indole da bravo cacciatore, mentre Yaakov una opposta. Il preferito di Isacco è Esaù, quello di Rebecca Yaakov. Un giorno Esaù scambia il diritto di primogenitura con Yaakov in cambio di uno stufato di lenticchie. Quando arriva il momento, per Isacco vecchio e ormai cieco, di benedire Esaù, Rebecca fa indossare a Yaakov gli abiti del fratello maggiore, in modo tale che riceva la benedizione al posto suo. Temendo la vendetta di Esaù, Yaakov fugge ad Haran, a casa di Labano, fratello di Rebecca.
The image above, is showing the opening part of our Illustrated Torah scroll with the first 4 sidrot. This is a canvas reproduction of the opening part of our Medium size Illustrated Torah Scroll. The scroll contains all 54 sidrot of the Torah in paintings. It is used as a fundraiser (MAKES BETWEEN 75k and 145k) for communities and it costs a tiny fraction.
As you can see here in the video, this is also a great tool for Simchat Torah and the picture of 250 kids all holding the scroll up gives the chills.
I hope to have awakened your curiosity. We have to help each other in times of distress, and this is the way we can help you and you can help us.
If you are interested, let us know and I will send to you the “Real sampler” Free of Charge.
BTW, Michal is now painting an original scroll which will be ready in approximately one year.
Same paintings only originals on canvas and will be made out as a scroll.
Cordially Be’Shalom, Michal and Alon
