Vayishlach

Vayishlach


He sees visions of malachim who

ascend and descend,

serve as earthly emissaries,

and then wrestle him for supremacy.


Is the divine image

which he sees in Esav’s face

that of the angel who

would not be named?


What are we to make of

dreams and apparitions,

shifting, shimmering sands,

within which formless mysteries dwell?


How many phantom ladders to climb,

How many crushing falls to endure,

How many crippling battles to fight,

How many elusive dreams to pursue,

before Yisroel can rest?
