Vayetze(And He Went Out) B’resheet/Genesis 28:10-32:3

Haftorah Readings: Hosea 11:7-13:5

Today we read a Torah portion that covers a wide swath of Jacob’s life. It begins with Jacob leaving the Land and encountering angels going up and down a ladder between heaven and earth. It also ends with another incident of an encounter between angels and Jacob. The intervening years of Jacob’s life, between these two encounters, are filled with ups and downs.
