How do we reconcile Jacob's behavior, tricking his brother and lying to his father, with our vision of Yaakov as an

Parashat Va'yishlach 5785 | The Transformation of Yaakov into Yisrael
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpdUMVjdCJs

Dec 13, 2024 Weekly Torah Portions
The night before his fateful meeting with his brother Esau, the patriarch Yaakov (Jacob) sends his family and flocks safely across the Jabok stream, and is left alone on the other side. A ‘man’ wrestles with Jacob all night, unable to defeat him but finally wounding him. The adversary informs Yaakov that his name will henceforth be Israel. Who was that man anyway? Why did he attack Jacob? And if his name is now 'Yisrael,' why does God Himself continue to call him by both names?

The Torah portion of Va'yishlach (Gen. 32 : 4 - 36 : 43) is read on Shabbat, 13 Kislev 5785 - December 14, 2024

In Psalm 24, King David prays, ‘This is the generation of those who seek Him; those who strive for your face, Yaakov selah.’ In addition to the many references and allusions to ‘the face’ in this week’s portion of Va’yishlach, our sages also teach that Yaakov’s face resembled that of Adam, the first man…and that the image of his face is ‘depicted on the Throne of Glory.’ What is the true meaning of these remarkable teachings? Be sure to watch this week’s Jerusalem Lights video lesson, ‘Reveal Your Face!

The Torah portion of Va'yishlach (Genesis 32 : 4 - 36 : 43) is read on Shabbat, Kislev 16, 5782 - November 20, 2021

Rabbi Isaac #8 Haftarah Vayishlach - Parallels between Jacob and Esau and Israel's prophesied End-time Enemies!

This week’s haftorah mentions the punishment of Edom, the descendants of Esau, whose conflict with Jacob is chronicled in this week’s Torah reading.

The prophet Obadiah, himself a descendant of an Edomite convert, describes the punishment destined for the nation of Edom. The Edomites did not come to Judea‘s aid when she was being destroyed by the Babylonians, and even joined in the carnage. Many years later the Edomites (the Roman Empire) themselves destroyed the Second Temple and mercilessly killed and enslaved their Jewish cousins.

Though the Roman Empire was one of the mightiest to ever inhabit the earth, the prophet forewarns: “If you go up high like an eagle, and if you place your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down, says the Lord. . . And the house of Jacob shall be fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau shall become stubble, and they shall ignite them and consume them, and the house of Esau shall have no survivors, for the Lord has spoken.”

After describing the division of Esau’s lands amongst the returning Judean exiles, the haftorah concludes with the well known phrase: “And saviors shall ascend Mt. Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the Lord shall have the kingdom.”
