Vayechi

Vayechi

Our Avos must distinguish,

Between the young son and the old,

Which one should be number one,

And which one should be culled.

Avraham Avinu needed Sarah,

To point out light from dark,

She saw Yitzchok was the future,

Within him the holy spark.

Yitzchok, led by Rivkah’s vision,

Sees that here’s the blessed son,

“Is this Esav, or is it Yaakov?

I’m not sure, but he’s the one”.

But Yaakov has no Rochel,

To perceive with eyes unshaded,

Yet he turns aside his son’s advice,

And sets Efraim first, unaided.
