Have You Only One Blessing?

Reflecting on a recent visit to a Buddhist temple and the narrative of Parashat Toldot, I explore the tension between spiritual scarcity and abundance. While the story of Jacob and Esau suggests a finite amount of blessing—where one brother’s gain is the other’s loss—a progressive theology reminds us that an Infinite God cannot run out of love. This post examines how we can celebrate our own Jewish uniqueness without invalidating the truths held by our neighbours, moving from a fear of "not enough" to a recognition that the Divine has enough blessing for all.
