  • Why did Yitzchak decide to bless Esav rather than Yaakov?
  • Were Rivka and Yaakov justified in deceiving Yitzchak in order to get the blessing?
  • How do the stories of Avraham and Yitzchak (and the competition between each set of children) compare?
  • Why are so many of the Matriarchs barren?
