In Bereishis (27:6) the posuk tells us that Yitzchak asked Eisav to go find an animal so he could give Eisav a bracha. This story leads to a few questions regarding the appearance of activity that is opposite of bein adam lachaveiro. Rivkah convinces her son Yaakov to take Eisav’s clothing that was entrusted to her in order to fool her husband. She was taking her son’s trust and completely misusing it.
Yitzchok, upon hearing Yaakov’s voice, starts to feel his clothing and Yaakov lets Yitzchok be fooled. We know that a blind man has a tvias ayin on a kol; he can identify his wife based on voice. Yitzchok’s behavior needs to be analyzed.

GENEVA (JTA) — A man shouted “Heil Hitler” and gave a Nazi salute on Tuesday to a group of rabbis meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.

Once again, just in time for Thanksgiving, millions of people have been told their romaine lettuce might be contaminated with a toxic strain of E. coli bacteria, that it’s potentially deadly, and that they should throw it away immediately and sanitize the fresh-produce drawer of their refrigerator.
No one knows why this is happening, exactly. There are inferences, speculation and intriguing clues, but the best minds of the U.S. government, the lettuce-growing states of California and Arizona, and the leafy-greens industry have failed to figure out why romaine keeps getting contaminated – or how they can stop it from happening again and again.

The movable guerrilla feast was adorned with the holiday essentials, and old and new friends gathered around turkey, greens, cider and stuffing, set atop white tablecloths – eager for dollops of yams before the conductor arrived at their stop.
Subway riders raised their non-alcohol bubbly for a prayer on the L Train to Brooklyn on Sunday evening. “Dear heavenly father, thank you for bringing us all together on this Thanksgiving Day,” one man said, holding a champagne flute that sloshed with the moving train.

The Big Apple will become the biggest municipality in the country to ban flavored vaping products as the City Council overwhelmingly passed legislation Tuesday that prohibits their sale inside the five boroughs.
Council members voted 42-2 to approve Manhattan Democrat Mark Levine’s bill amid a growing national vaping health crisis that has been linked to at least 47 deaths — including two in New York — and has put more than 2,200 people in hospitals this year alone.
New York will join more than 230 other municipalities that have already approved restrictions on flavored tobacco products — including San Francisco, which passed legislation in June outlawing e-cigarettes altogether.
