Yaakov Bows to Esav?
Chas v’Shalom
More like, bows towards Esav
Or better, bows down Esav
Esav isn’t really his name
He has seven real names
Seven unrealities (listed below)
In shemoneh esreh we bow
The Zohar says, seven times
Inspired by Yaakov’s success
Use אנא בכח to emulate him
Focus on each of the following
During the respective bows in tefilla
Particularly during maariv
1-אבג יתץ to neutralize רע
2–קרע שטן to neutralize ערל
3–נגד יכש to neutralize טמא
4-בטר צתג to neutralize שונא
5–חקב טנא to neutralize מכשול
6–יגל פזק to neutralize אבן
7–שקו צית to neutralize צפוני
Shabbos Shalom
