The Essence And The Everyday

Vayishlach | Genesis, Bereishit | 5770

The moment when Jacob was left alone before the night wrestling match, connecting the Chassidic New Year of Yud Tes Kislev to the theme of Jacob's encounter with the angel. Rabbi Shneur Zalman's imprisonment and release are linked to Jacob's wrestling as both involve the confrontation with hostile external forces and spiritual triumph.
