Esav, King David, a minority... and me!



    Israel continuously makes an impact on all of our lives. Every city offers a unique atmosphere, every person carries innovative perspectives, and every moment brings greater connections. Thus, why not let my body represent Israel’s significance on us? Yes, I could get a new piercing but that’s too typical. A tattoo makes a definite impact but that’s counter-productive. What else is there?
    In the Torah, Ya’akov and Esav share a deceitful relationship. As the underdog, Esav shows his strength by persevering though their brotherly struggle. Several years later, King David ruled over Israel. To this day, out of all of the kings, he remains to be the most studied and respected by the Jewish people. Lastly, although they play a significant role in American society, Jews live as a minority in the overall population. What do these impacting figures, Esav, King David, and a minority, have in common?
