R. Ben Greenfield writes
In kabbalistic and #Hasidic thought, each of the #Biblical patriarchs is associated with a defining characteristic. Avraham is associated with kindness (hesed), Yitzhak with tstrength (gevurah), and Yaakov with truth (emet). But these associations seem false! In the biblical narratives, Yaakov is deceptive, Yitzhak is weak, and even Avraham’s kindness begins to collapse after analysis.
How then should we understand this kabbalistic association?
