Parashat Va'yishlach

This week’s Torah portion of Vayishlach presents a sprawling array of  many of the seminal events in the life of the patriarch Jacob. This  amazing, towering figure, a paragon of truth and righteousness, had  angels at his command and was the recipient of many Divine miracles. Yet  by own admission he felt ‘diminished,’ ‘small’ in his own eyes…unworthy  and undeserving of all Hashem’s kindness. In this week’s Jerusalem  Lights podcast, our hosts reflect on the profound, universal message  that we learn from Yaakov’s great appreciation for all of G-d’s  kindnesses, and how thankful we should be at all times for everything He  does for each and every one of us. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman  offer up a fascinating discussion of Jacob’s battle with a mysterious  angel, and reveal some amazing details that shine a beacon on the inner  meaning of this elusive Biblical account…and how we can all do battle  with our own angels, and win!
