The sacred connection between food and Judaism is powerfully displayed in Parshat Toldot.

In the early part of the story, Jacob tricks his brother Essau into giving up his birthright in exchange for a bowl of red lentils, which Essau mistook for meat. And later, Isaac is tricked by Jacob and his mother Rebecca into giving his blessing to Jacob instead of his brother, thanks to a meal.
