Rav Chaim Kanievsky & Meshech Chochma: Eisav and Lavan
Jump to Comments
“The pasuk says that Yaakov gave Eisav “Lechem U’Nizid Adoshim”; bread and lentil stew. Eisav only asked for the lentils why did Yaakov give him bread? Rav Chaim Kanievsky answers that since there is a machlokes in the gemara what bracha to make on beans that were cooked for a long time (either Shehakol or Ha’adama) the best way to avoid any problems is to wash on bread. Therefore Yaakov gave Eisav the bread so he would wash and not worry about which bracha to make.” more@Revach.net
