Killing Two Birds With One Stone

This week's parsha starts with the pasuk, "Vayetze Yaakov MiBe'er Sheva, Vayelech Charana", meaning "And Yaakov left Be'er Sheva and went to Charan". Chazal ask why the repetitive language.
Harav Soloveitchik (the Rav) gives what I think is a beautiful answer. If we look at the end of last week's parsha, we see that Rivka tells Yaakov that Eisav wants to kill him and "Kum Brach Lcha" meaning "Run Away". Then Yitzchak after his first ever publicized conversation with Rivka (that's for another time) tells Yaakov, "Kum leich Padena Aram" meaning "Go to Padan Aram (Charan to find a wife)"
The Rav explains, with one action, Yaakov accomplished two things. He listened to both his mother and his father with the one action. That's what the Torah is teaching us.
Kibbud Av Va'Aim is one of the most difficult mitzvos out there. In the zchus of Yaakov Avinu, good luck to one and all.
