SF - How to Deal With 'Difficult People'

"You have contended with your opponents, Esav and Lavan, and you defeated them" (cf Bereisheit 32:29). This verse seems counterintuitive. Lavan subjugated Yaacov Avinu to work for twenty years as "wages" for his two wives. Esav's wrath forced Yaacov to flee from him for many years. Ultimately, Yaacov sent Esav a fortune in gifts and bowed down to him seven times. In light of Yaacov's resignation and acquiescence to his archenemies, how can we say that he overcame Esav and Lavan? Yaacov Avinu knew that if he overpowered Esav and Lavan, they would always seek to take revenge against him. Therefore, Yaacov humbled himself to his enemies to give them the perception that they overcame him. Now that "they gained the upper hand" over Yaacov, their burning hatred against Yaacov subsided. Yaacov's wise humility laid the groundwork to bring his enemies to peace. 

The ultimate defeat over one's enemy comes by neutralizing their animosity by humbling yourself to them and making peace.

Use wisdom to overcome difficult people and relate to them with humility. In turn, they will appease their malice towards you, and peace will prevail.
(Based on the commentary of Rav Aaron Bakst)
May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - The Sacredness of Self-Improvement

The Sacredness of Self-Improvement \ Parashat Vayeitzei

"And it came to pass when Rachel gave birth to Yoseph"
(Bereishis 30:28). Our Sages revealed that Yoseph was the nemesis of Esau, as the prophet Ovadiyah revealed, "The house of Yoseph shall be a flame and the house of Esau shall become stubble." Yoseph's name signifies "increase." Yoseph continuously grew spiritually stronger, each day of his life, steadily increasing in holiness. Whereas, Esau's name connotes "finished." Esau saw himself as perfect, he saw no reason to strive for inner improvement. In contrast, Yoseph's constant effort to better himself empowered him with the strength to defeat Esau.    
The key to Yaacov's power was his realization that there is no end to spiritual growth. The more Yaacov worked on self-improvement, the more the power of his holiness increased. Ultimately, Yaacov emerged as the flame of goodness that defeats and overcomes the evil quest of Esau. 

Envision Yaacov constantly focused on improving his actions and refining his character traits. Yaacov elevates himself a little more each day, always striving to grow in holiness, kindness, and wisdom. See how Esau's complacency and arrogance renders him stagnant and vulnerable. Envision Yaacov bursting into a great flame and consume the evil Esau. Strive to improve yourself a little more, each and every day.  
(Based on the commentary of Rav Dov Yaffe on the Shem M'Shmuel)
May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.
