Torah Portion VAYISHLACH
He sent — וַיִּשְׁלַח (Genesis 32:3-36:43)
h/Jacob returns home carrying fear, blessing, and unfinished history. He knows Esau is coming with 400 men, so he sends gifts ahead—strategic, humble, intentional. But the real battle isn’t with Esau; it’s with the old Jacob. Alone in the night, he wrestles until dawn and refuses to let go without a blessing. God renames him Israel—the one who prevails by holding on. When the brothers finally meet, the moment shifts: no revenge, only an embrace that heals decades of distance. Vayishlach then shows the cost of living in a broken world—the tragedy of Dinah and the fierce response of her brothers. Yet God calls Jacob back to Bethel to rebuild, renew, and remember the covenant. Rachel’s passing marks both sorrow and destiny as Benjamin is born. Through conflict, mercy, loss, and return, Vayishlach teaches that true transformation begins when we confront our past, cling to God, and choose reconciliation over fear.
