This week's Parsha Perspective is dedicated in memory of Rabbi Gabi and Rivki Holtzberg, H"YD. They were the Chabad representatives in Mumbai, India, and were tragically killed in a brutal terrorist attack on the 29th of Cheshvan in 2008. May their memory continue to inspire Jews all over the world to strengthen their connection to G-d.

Our Parsha introduces us to the third and final forefather of the Jewish people: Ya'akov Avinu.

His parents, Yitzchak and Rivkah had a similar issue as his grandparents Avraham and Sarah, they were both childless for a long time.

But after twenty years, G-d finally accepted their prayers, and Rivkah gave birth to twins, Ya'akov and Esav.

We find out why he was named Ya'akov.

We learn what Ya'akov really means!
