Toldot in a Nutshell

The name of the Parshah, "Toldot," means "Generations" and it is found in Genesis 25:19.

Isaac and Rebecca endure twenty childless years, until their prayers are answered and Rebecca conceives. She experiences a difficult pregnancy as the “children struggle inside her”; Gd tells her that “there are two nations in your womb,” and that the younger will prevail over the elder.
