Ein Yaakov - the Aggadah of the Babylonian Talmud
Ein Yaakov, one of the most popular classics in Rabbinic literature, is a collection of the aggadic material found in the Talmud.
Ein Yaakov gained instant popularity, and soon after its first printing (Salonica, 1516) it became the favorite textbook of businessmen and working people who were eager to learn Gemara but had neither the time nor the inclination to explore the knotty deliberations of the halachic portions of the Talmud.

 Beacons on the Talmud's Sea: Of Eternal Life
Yaakov's true being is as it is conceived by the Torah, and this is not bound by the limitations of nature.
Thus the mourning and burying of Yaakov, which was required by Torah because it appeared to them that he died, draws down the potential for every Jew to reach the Resurrection of the Dead through the task of refining and purifying the body.
In his gloss to Ein Yaakov, Rif states: "Since he desired to rebuke him, he stopped eating so that he could reply." This appears to imply that Rav Yitzchak ceased eating entirely, and did not resume; he was not merely pausing between courses.

 Targum Press - Excerpt from A Bridge to Heaven
Yaakov, who embodies the attribute of Tiferet, triggers the divine abundance from the upper worlds to the attribute of Yesod through which the plentifulness is channeled to the lower worlds.
Yaakov then designated Binyamin, along with the remaining tribe leaders, to perform the functions required by the sefirah of Yesod.
When Yaakov realized that Binyamin had to be sent away, affecting the unity of the attributes of Tiferet and Yesod, he proposed another approach for preserving this unity: “Take of the land’s glory in your baggage...” (Bereishit 43:11).
