A ‘man’ wrestles with Jacob all night, unable to defeat him but finally wounding him. The adversary informs Yaakov that his name will henceforth be Israel. Who was that man anyway? Why did he attack Jacob? And if his name is now 'Yisrael,' why does God Himself continue to call him by both names? The Torah portion of Va'yishlach (Gen. 32 : 4 - 36 : 43) is read on Shabbat, 13 Kislev 5785 - December 14, 2024 *** Psalm 24 (The King of Glory) - Keith and Kristyn Getty - Lyrics (~5 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsOZ3UsUbNA *** Rabbi Richman Parshat Vayishlach- “And he sent” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYswh01g_SM (10 mins) In Psalm 24, King David prays, ‘This is the generation of those who seek Him; those who strive for your face, Yaakov selah.’ In addition to the many references and allusions to ‘the face’ in this week’s portion of Va’yishlach, our sages also teach that Yaakov’s face resembled that of Adam, the first man…and that the image of his face is ‘depicted on the Throne of Glory.’ What is the true meaning of these remarkable teachings? Be sure to watch this week’s Jerusalem Lights video lesson, ‘Reveal Your Face! The Torah portion of Va'yishlach (Genesis 32 : 4 - 36 : 43) is read on Shabbat, Kislev 16, 5782 - November 20, 2021 *** Rabbi Isaac # 8 - Torah Parashah Vayishlach (Wrestling with God against Self!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgnpobMz1YM (100 mins) Learn the secrets to overcoming self by submitting to God like Ya'akov versus suppressing bitterness and living with unforgiveness like Esau!

Listen and learn from Rabbi Isaac's new Dvar Torah teaching on the 8th Torah Parashah Vayishlah covering Genesis 32:4–36:43. Vayishlach is Hebrew for “and he sent,” messengers and this Dvar dives deeper into different aspects of us each being sent as messengers with a special purpose today through the lens of the life of Dinah daughter of Leah! Each year we study and understand on a deeper level and we hope this deeper teaching on the concepts of God appearing to Avraham blesses you with deeper insights and spiritual growth! *** Rabbi Isaac #8 Haftarah Vayishlach - Parallels between Jacob and Esau and Israel's prophesied End-time Enemies! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMi9bdhgx6E&list=PLjwGJ03D1fXoJ40g4nvce1GDyj7Q31... (67 mins) *** This week’s haftorah mentions the punishment of Edom, the descendants of Esau, whose conflict with Jacob is chronicled in this week’s Torah reading. The prophet Obadiah, himself a descendant of an Edomite convert, describes the punishment destined for the nation of Edom. The Edomites did not come to Judea‘s aid when she was being destroyed by the Babylonians, and even joined in the carnage. Many years later the Edomites (the Roman Empire) themselves destroyed the Second Temple and mercilessly killed and enslaved their Jewish cousins. Though the Roman Empire was one of the mightiest to ever inhabit the earth, the prophet forewarns: “If you go up high like an eagle, and if you place your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down, says the Lord. . . And the house of Jacob shall be fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau shall become stubble, and they shall ignite them and consume them, and the house of Esau shall have no survivors, for the Lord has spoken.” After describing the division of Esau’s lands amongst the returning Judean exiles, the haftorah concludes with the well known phrase: “And saviors shall ascend Mt. Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the Lord shall have the kingdom.” *** Because He Lives - Grace Larson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxbveK1MrpE |
Weekly Bible Reading #7 Vayetze/And he went out Torah Gen. 28:10-32:3 HafTarah Hos. 11:7-14:9 New Testament John 1:19-51 Apr 7, 2016 What is your view of Jesus? John the Baptist was very aware of who Jesus is: "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). We learn that our faith should not be dictated by the world's opinion of God because the majority of people have not received Him—but those who do have the right to become His children. This teaching is from our series 43 John - 2016 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Albuquerque. *** Rabbi Richman Torah Portion Vayetze What is Jacob's Ladder? The patriarch Jacob's vision of a ladder spanning from earth to heaven was no ordinary dream...it was a template and spiritual guide to teach us how to connect heaven and earth. The ladder of life! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfhjYeBYtfU (22 mins) Rabbi Richman Torah Portion Vayetze Jacob's Spiritual Battle The crafty and manipulative Laban, introduced in this week's Torah portion, is a profound study in the nature of spiritual opposition. His cunning and psychological warfare serve as a testing ground for Yaakov, refining his character and preparing him for his ultimate role as the patriarch of a holy nation. Through Laban’s challenges, Yaakov emerges stronger, demonstrating that truth and holiness can triumph even in the most corrupt environments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU7MoOu6m3Q (~ 16 mins) *** Rabbi Isaac Torah Portion Vayetze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAoL_ijlELY (120 mins) (jacobs Ladder comparisons to DNA) Excellent information within the first 7 minutes of the video!

There is only one seemingly inconsequential story where the focus is all on Isaac, and it's about... digging some wells?! Why is THIS the story the Torah chooses to share about Isaac? Who cares about these wells? Is this Isaac's grand introduction? Let's explore Parshat Toldot (Genesis 29:14-28:9) together and try to understand how this introduction of Isaac perfectly characterizes the Abrahamic legacy of kindness. *** Parshat Toldot 5784 : Prayer from the Depths Jerusalem Lights - Rabbi Chaim Richman Nov 16, 2023 https://youtu.be/bCsLCPa5QYo (~11 mins) *** Messianic Rabbi Isaac - This video also states that the first seal in Revelations opened in 2010! # 6 - Torah Parashah Toldot (Generations) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEA71PPK_yw (90 min) Look deeper at the story of Jacob and Esau and learn from Rabbi Isaac the powerful truth about the importance of the choices we make and how it is even more important than the Nature versus Nurture argument! Realize the power of God's Spirit in your life to overcome sin through this amazing teaching on the generations of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and learn the reason Esau lost the blessing of the firstborn and how his wrong choices not only affected him but his whole lineage down through the ages... even playing a part in end-time prophecy! *** Messianic Rabbi Issac- Interesting discussions! #6 Haftarah Toldot - Parallels between Jacob's descendants versus Esau's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbaJup04udQ&list=PLjwGJ03D1fXoJ40g4nvce1GDyj7Q31... (58 mins) This week's haftorah is from Malachi 1:1-2:7.

Learn deeper symbolism of Sarah as past Israel and Rivkah as present Israel, and so much more! *** #5 Haftarah Chayei Sarah - Parallels pointing to the future Bride of Messiah! In this Haftarah Chayei Sarah we draw Spiritual prophetic parallels between the Brides of Abraham, Isaac, King David and the future spiritual Bride of Messiah! The haftarah in I Kings 1:1-31 describes an aging King David, echoing this week’s Torah reading, which mentions that “Abraham was old, advanced in days. *** Jerusalem Lights Parashat Chayei Sarah 5781: The Unspoken Prayer Rabbi Richman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pZ1wptfBfQ (12 mins) *** Abraham sends his trusty servant, Eliezer, back to his homeland on a mission to find a wife for Isaac. Approaching his destination, Eliezer prays to G-d for success. It has a remarkable, powerful spiritual experience…his prayer is answered even before he finishes speaking when Rebecca appears on the scene and fulfills the condition he had begun to present to G-d in his ‘unspoken’ prayer, thus confirming that she is the one. What is the mystery and meaning of G-d hearing – and answering – a prayer, even before it is spoken? *** Parashat Chayei Sarah 5785 | A Torah Lesson On Soulmates Jerusalem Lights - Rabbi Chaim Richman Torah wisdom teaches that soulmates are created in Heaven and that every soul that descends to this world has a pre-destined match.

The ultimate of these tests was the ‘Binding of Isaac’ featured in this week’s Torah portion of Va’yera: G-d’s command for Abraham to take his son Isaac, the beloved promised child of his old age, and offer him up as an offering. G-d continuously tests us all – it’s a major theme throughout the Torah, and in reality, we are all being tested constantly. But what is the real purpose and nature of the tests that G-d prepares for each individual? Why are we tested? And how can we be sure that we will pass? In this week's portion, we learn that the tests we confront present us with an opportunity to rise to our fullest potential and accomplish our mission in this world. ****************** Rabbi Issac Assembly of Called out believers #4 Vayera And He Appeared A fascinating discussion is within the first twenty minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgw4ldDoXlQ (2 hrs) Vayeira Hebrew for “and He appeared,” the first word in the parashah) is the fourth weekly Torah portion in the annual cycle of Torah reading and covers Genesis 18:1–22:24.

Come to understand the lessons for our spiritual growth in the stories of Abraham's three visitors and Abraham's bargaining with God over Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's two visitors and Lot's bargaining with the Sodomites, the flight of Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as how Yeshua was the light that came out of the darkness of the cave in which Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father, and how Abraham once again was blessed in even though he passed off his wife Sarah as his sister! Come to understand the symbol of the covenant in the birth of Isaac, as well as the deeper meanings of the expulsion of Hagar, disputes over wells, and the binding of Isaac. ********************************** #4 Haftarah Vayera - The Model of God appearing, a Miraculous Birth, Death, and Resurrection! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYeiiiZoiPw&list=PLjwGJ03D1fXoJ40g4nvce1GDyj7Q31...

For many of us, we look up to this woman; she inspires us with her strength, discipline, and hard work. But, for others, this “perfect” lady gets on our nerves because of how unrealistic her life seems to be (and we feel like we cannot live up to her). In today's video, I talk about the Proverbs 31 woman and how we might be reading and interpreting it wrong. I hope this is insightful for you and encourages you to delight more and more in God's Word! With love, Ashley |
