Howard M. Markose - Jacob and Esau’s Long-Awaited Meeting – Friendly or Antagonistic?

Rabbi Dr. Howard M. Markose, a teacher of Bible and Biblical Hebrew Grammar at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem (https://www.pardes.org.il/) presents his Valley Beit Midrash lecture "Jacob and Esau’s Long-Awaited Meeting – Friendly or Antagonistic?" before an audience at Congregation Beth Israel(Congregation Beth Israel, Scottsdale Arizona https://cbiaz.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: IThey have not seen each other for over two decades. Jacob faces an unavoidable reunion with his brother Esau and the description in the Hebrew Bible is quite riveting. The question that has been asked for centuries is how Esau’s readiness for the reunion is to be understood. What did Jacob think? What do we think? What is the contemporary relevance of this analysis?
