By Rabbi Berach Steinfeld
In Bereishis (27:6) the posuk tells us that Yitzchak asked Eisav to go find an animal so he could give Eisav a bracha. This story leads to a few questions regarding the appearance of activity that is opposite of bein adam lachaveiro. Rivkah convinces her son Yaakov to take Eisav’s clothing that was entrusted to her in order to fool her husband. She was taking her son’s trust and completely misusing it.
Yitzchok, upon hearing Yaakov’s voice, starts to feel his clothing and Yaakov lets Yitzchok be fooled. We know that a blind man has a tvias ayin on a kol; he can identify his wife based on voice. Yitzchok’s behavior needs to be analyzed.
