Aleph-Beta Parsha Experiment - Vayetzeh

What does the video say we WOULD HAVE EXPECTED the stories about Ya'akov/Jacob to be about?

Instead what THEME seems to appear time and time again in the stories of Ya'akov's life?

Give the three examples of this theme referred to in the video (in the Torah's stories about Ya'akov)

One of the themes of the previous parshiot was the idea of 'favorites'. Who was the obvious favorite in the story of Avraham's two sons? What happened to Yitzchak? Yishmael? Was the choice clear?

How is the story of Ya'akov and Esav different regarding who was the favorite?

What COULD Ya'akov have done to try to get the beracha instead of Esav? What DID he do instead?

In the video, they ask at 6:48 - "do the ends justify the means"? What does this question mean?

Yaakov asks Lavan (after the switcharoo with Leah replacing Rachel) "Why did you deceive me?"

Where does the video say we heard these words before? What story is this a reminder of?

In what way is Lavan's response to Ya'akov giving Ya'akov "a taste of his own medicine"?

Does the Torah seem to be okay with Ya'akov's tricking his father or not?
