Turnusrufus to Rabbi Akiva: “Why does the Holy One Blessed be He, hate us, for he wrote, ‘And Eisav I have hated’”?

Midrash Tanchuma (Parshat Truma, #3)

“And Eisav I have hated” (Malachi 1:3) , There was an incident with Turnusrufus who asked Rabbi Akiva, “why does the Holy One Blessed be He, hate us, for he wrote, ‘And Eisav I have hated'”? He responded, “Tomorrow I will reply”.
The next day Rabbi Akiva explained to him about a dream last night with two dogs named Rufus and Rufina. Immediately Turnusrufus was upset and said, “why did you call your dogs by my name and my wife’s name, you are liable to execution by the kingdom. Rabbi Akiva responded, how are you different from them? You eat and drink and they eat and drink. You reproduce and they reproduce; you die and they die; but when I called their names by your name, you were angered. Now the Holy One Blessed be He who stretched out the skies and establishes the earth, puts to death and brings to life. You take wood and call it a deity, like his name, all the more so that he hates you, that is what is meant “And Eisav I have hated” (Malachi 1:3).

Book 2: Interpretation of the Bible

gaonpicB”H Excerpts from An Anthology of the Gaon by Rabbi Moshe Zuriel {Tzuriel}

A Selection of sayings of the Vilna Gaon regarding beliefs, extracted from most of the writings of his disciples, of those faithful to him, and from some of his own writings.

Swiftness

The fact that a person puts off performing a mitzvah until the morrow leads to his not performing it at all, rather, as soon as he has the opportunity he should immediately perform it – to Proverbs 10/8, 14/23, 27/1

If not now, then when?” (Avot I) – the Sages did not say ”if not today”, for even on the same day, one should already now, perform the mitzvah.- to Proverbs 6:9

This Anthology of the sayings of the Vilna Gaon is Not Appropriate For Non-Jewish
Souls. Instead they should scroll up this page to the section A Light Unto the Nations which is more appropriate for a mixed audience.
