Shabbat Shalom!

Portion Vayishlach recounts the epic adventure of Jacob wrestling an angel. Jacob’s fears, his past, and his struggle to walk in his God-given calling all come to a head as he confronts both an angel and his brother Esau.

In this episode, we explore:

• Angelic encounters by Moses, Balaam, and Joshua

• Jacob’s call to walk in greatness

As Shmuel put it so well in this week’s video, “You are a child of God. Your being small does not serve the world.” Go forth into the great things that God has for you.
