SUMMARY:Torah Study
DESCRIPTION:No prior Torah study experience needed\; all are welcome!\n\nT
 he portion is Vayishlach\, Genesis 32:4-36:43. Here are some of the ideas 
 we'll look at with Rabbi Lenore Bohm:\n\n 	Jacob prepares to meet Esau in 
 three ways. First\, he prays.Then he selects gifts to send to his brother.
   Finally\, he secludes himself. Do you think these are useful preparatio
 ns? How do you prepare for a difficult encounter? \n\n\n 	In 32:25\, it s
 ays Jacob was “alone.” The Hebrew word\,“l’vado\,” also carries 
 the connotation of “lonely.” As part of the second creation story in G
 enesis 2\, God says (thinks?)\, “It is not good for Adam to be alone (
 “l’vado”). The Torah favors relationships and community\, not solitu
 de and independence. Is there a role for both in our lives?  \n\n\n 	Jac
 ob emerges wounded from his nocturnal struggle (32:32)\,“He was limping 
 on account of his thigh.”Does this impairment humble him?Later\, Jacob t
 ells Esau that the children and animals need to journey at a slower pace\,
  and that he\, Jacob\, would continue with them. Was Jacob trying to camou
 flage his disability\, his need to walk at a slower pace from his brother 
 because he did not want to reveal weakness?When you have revealed weakness
 es to someone\, how have they responded? \n\n&nbsp\;
