Parashat Vayetzei (“and he went out”)

Torah Portion for November 17, 2007 -- 7 Kislev 5768

Vayetzei


Genesis 28:10-32:3

Hosea 12:13-14:10
John 1:19-51

Jews all over the world are reading this Torah portion this week--and it will be read in synagogue on Shabbat. I began the Torah cycle in July and the understanding I have received is amazing. The Torah is truly alive, as alive as the Gospels.

Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
