Following a Shiur this past week based upon one of Nechama Leibowitz’, Z”L, Gilayon for Parashat Toldot (see by In her essay for Parashat Toldot (see https://rayanotyaakov.wordpress.com/gilyanot-for-sefer-beraishit/ Toldot 5712; one can listen to the Shiur as well at the same site), we were discussing the personality of Eisav. One of the attendees mentioned that her father, R. Isaac Trainin, felt particular sympathy for Eisav, especially when he cried out upon realizing that his brother had taken the blessing that Yitzchak had intended for the son that he particularly loved:
Beraishit 27:34
When Eisav heard the words of his father (to the effect that Yaakov’s blessing, albeit illegally obtained, would stand), he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father: “Bless me, even me also, O my father.”
