A class on the first possuk of the parsha. VAYETZE 2006 – HE LEFT TO BUILD A JEWISH NATION CLASSES At the end of Parshas Toldos, Yaakov Avinu left Eretz Yisroel so why does parshas Vayetze tell us this again? It begins with a number of pshatim (interpretations) on this question from Rashi, R. Bechaye, Alshich, and Etz Hadaas Tov. Then Rabbi Paltiel takes the discussion to a whole new level with a sicha of the Lubavitcher Rebbe from chelek hei (volume 5) that gives deep insight into the concept of galus (exile). This is an intermediate level class.
