  1. As Yaakov and his family head down to Egypt the #Torah, in this week's #Parsha calls him #Yisrael (which makes sense since his name was already changed). But as #Hashem calls to him in a dream, he is referred to by his old name, #Yaakov (twice, in fact).
    Why the old name? And why twice?

  6. This week's #Torah #parsha #kasha: #Eisav was considered a master of "Honour thy Father and thy Mother" - so why did he marry Yehudith and Bosmath, the Knaani girls that so embittered his parents? Eisav only took his parents wishes into account after the #struggle over the #brachos was over, when #Yaakov had already fled to Padan Aram. Only THEN did he marry Mohalath, #Yishmael's sister.

    If Eisav was such a groise mechabed av, why didn't he take his parent's wishes into account from the get go?
