I watched R' Richter's video. Basically, what he said comes down to the observation that both candidates for the presidency of the US are bad. I'm glad I'm here in E"Y and don't have to think about voting over there.
I hope we will find Mashiah, or he will find us, really quick.
I may have done Rabbi Richter and all the readers a disservice by titling this post "Understanding the 'Tov of Eisav'"; therefore, I have retitled for clarity: "The 'Tov of Eisav' Is the Converts to Judaism."
According to my understanding, and I hope the Rav will correct me if I'm wrong, Antoninus was a very special case and cannot be used to in any way show there is a good side to Eisav because Eisav is wicked through and through and will hate Ya'akov forever. Any "good" that could be found in "Eisav" comes out of Eisav as converts to Judaism, as Antoninus himself did.
I forget that many people today read only the headlines and make the rest up as they choose.
No, this is not a "companion" to Rabbi Kessin, God forbid.
B”H we are getting to the Tov of Eisav.

That's the title I gave it, Neshama, and if you can say that, I can only conclude that you haven't heard the shiur yet.

Finally, I'd be interested in hearing your take on Rabbi Richter's shiur. Did it help you at all?

Neshama, did you listen yet? What important information did you take away from it?
