    First of all, welcome to Beth Tikkun. We have all been awaiting you and your family’s arrival as this precious group of disciples of the Master come together to lift each other up, encourage one another, grow and learn together. Please provide your visual materials – I want to print out in particular the map of Yaakov’s journeys as he prophetically is exiled from the land and then is regathered 20 years later. Thank you for brilliantly pointing out to me something I realized on the surface but had not sunk into my heart — the intersecting point of both places was Beth-El — the house of HaShem and amazing and deeply spiritual realizations and maturity were gained from those experiences. In both encounters, Yaakov was in great fear and perceived danger and was totally alone. He had serious problems to work out. Reminds me of the metaphor of the wilderness – where we are away from the distractions of the world and we finally hear the still small voice of HaShem. However, it wasn’t so quiet there in his 2 encounters! You have given me a powerful word picture and road map for my ‘journeys’ especially with problems in life to remember that there is this special place where I must go and meet with my Father and have an encounter with Him that will do what is usually needed in my life when there are problems especially with other people — to change and correct me first before I can find a solution with a problem with another. Todah rabah!!!!
