What Does This Parshah Mean to Me?
- The story of Jacob’s dream of the ladder can be describe as a revelation. God appeared to Jacob. How do you think God appears to people today?
- Why do you think the angels were “going up and down”. Why not the other way? What explanations do you think there are?
- Jacob was running away from Canaan because he tricked his father and brother. Do you think he got his “just rewards” when he was deceived by Laban?
