We start out this cycle’s parsha Vayishlach teaching by “putting our glasses back on,” reading through a passage in Isaiah that has the ability to powerfully re-center us. From that place of reset, we examine Jacob’s wrestlings with Esau and with God. As a final point, we ponder the curious fact that though Jacob’s name is changed to “Israel,” from that point the Torah sometimes calls him “Jacob” and sometimes “Israel,” even switching within a single verse.
