WHY???
I just don't get it. Why this rage against Esau? Why this hair-raising sophistry of hate language in the Rabbinic tradition? This is a Jew who is being dealt with. Even when there is a truth to what's being propagated against him (I personally don't buy a single word of it!), is this the way to treat a fellow Jew? Aren't we told "the sin ..not the sinner"? There is something terribly terribly wrong here.
Anyone who wants to sail to calmer, loving waters about Esau, should consult an excellent article by Tali Loewenthal entitled "Esau, The Transformer", where he presents the Rebbe's take on Esau. The Rebbe's 'emissaries' obviously don't follow him on this issue.
