Our Parshah tells the story of a journey to a place of anger, deception and wealth.
There's a dream to point the way and a dream to summon us back, and angels to send us off and angels greet us on our return. There is the sad-eyed fruitious Leah and the beautiful pining Rachel, and flock and flocks of sheep amidst which a progeny is seeded and a fortune is amassed.
It is the story of Jacob in Charan, and the story of every soul that visits this earth.
