Sight And Sound

Vayechi | Genesis, Bereishit | 5769

The spiritual significance of the names of Jacob's sons through the imagery of sight and sound as two levels of perception of the Divine. Seeing represents a clearer, more direct awareness of G-dliness that evokes love, while hearing represents a more indirect level that is nonetheless a real form of connection.
