This shiur examines the three blessings that Yaakov receives: From Yitzhak when he impersonates Esav, from Yitzhak when he leaves for Haran, and from God in the ladder dream. What is the significance of each of these separate blessings?

Through an examination of these blessings, we learn that they continue the blessings to Avraham, and particularly the two covenants: the Covenant Between the Parts, and the Covenant of Circumcision.  The general significance of this understanding is that the blessing and selection of Avraham are passed on in their entirety, with all their components, to Yaakov.  And each blessing relates to a different one of God's Names, since each Divine Name reflects a different aspect of Divine manifestation in the world.
