Ephraim Ben Noach:
This is a new concept I came up with, lol: Dinah could of saved Esau, but Jacob was being stubborn so it did not happen. If Dinah could do this, maybe her daughter could too... And her children are Ephraim and Manasseh , who became the leaders of the Northern tribes(lost tribes).
The lost tribes are mixed in with Esau. When the lost tribes wake up, they will be able to convince some of Esau's descendants to support Israel(like some do now) the rest will burn.
Also what if 'Joseph will be a flame and Esau will be straw' means Joseph will be a light to Esau and Esau will be consumed with the light of G-d, like a flame to straw...
Just a thought.

Shalom JTF Readers,
I am very pleased that Hashem has given me a community with a Rabbi who understands me and my 'right-wing' Judaism. My Rabbi called me up today for the Fifth Aliyah of the Torah reading. It is this reading which contains the story of the defilement of Dinah. Over the Shabbat meal he came to me and asked me if I appreciated the aliyah, and I told him how much I cherished it. After Shabbat ended I even sent my Rabbi the Dvar Torah given by Chaim Ben Pesach which I posted below.
My Rabbi is a right-winger at heart, but he doesn't let everyone know how he feels, going the way of persuading everyone in the community of the need for a strong Israel.

Shalom Ephraim,
Actually what you state is not exactly a chiddush (new thought)... When I was studying the Chumash during Torah reading today with the minyan I noticed a note below the text (in the commentary) which actually supports your statement. It was based on a talk given by the Lubavitch Rebbe where he basically said that the pasuk 'Essau will be consumed like straw' ultimately implies that a portion of Essau will repent and only Essaus evil will be destroyed, not the entire nation of Essau...
Good insight.
