Vayishlach, this week's Torah portion...briefly...
Jacob stays alone
sends the family on ahead
scared of Esau's wrath
By himself at night
he wrestles with an angel
or was it a man?
The man could not win
so he pulled the leg muscle
and he cried "uncle"
but Jacob was wise
"I can't let you go until
a blessing you give."
and so he was blessed
his name changed to Israel
means "wrestler with God."
Jake renames the spot
Peni-el, face-to-God's-face
His life changed a lot!
