Titen Emes L’Yaakov

Esav accuses Yaakov of taking his birthright and his blessing. Yet the Navi identifies Yaakov with emes. How do we reconcile the two? Through Yaakov’s encounters with Esav and Lavan, the shiur explores emes v’yatziv and emes ve’emunah, and asks how we can recognize what Hashem wants when our own instincts point another way.
