Parashat Vayishlach: Transformative Change | Rabbi Shai Finkelstein

After fleeing for his life following the stolen blessings and enduring many hardships Jacob nevertheless survived through cunning and divine intervention. Yet, upon returning, he could no longer run from Esau. How does Jacob face his “first meeting” with himself, as a man forced to confront the power from which he fled? Does Jacob succeed in transforming from a Jew of exile into a Hebrew Man, one who can stand against the entire world?
