Field

a.k.a rabbi - A podcast by Rabbi Gavriel Goldfeder - Sundays

Continuing to explore wild spaces, we focus on fields, halfway between the mountain and the home, halfway between hunting and breastfeeding. The field is epitomized by Yitzhak, who takes the wild experience of the Akeidah and attempts to integrate it into family - a task in which he only partially succeeds. He makes effort to bless Eisav - a man of the field - with the assumption that Eisav will continue this work of plowing the field. Instead, Ya'akov, a man of the home, makes himself a bit more wide and receives his father's blessing.
