What is in a name: Jacob Vs Israel

What is in a name: Jacob Vs Israel, presents a fascinating concept on the human condition and one who seeks clossness to G-D. In the present parshah, VAYISHLACH, we see Jacob struggling with the evil husk in its material manifestation, the “fallen” GEVUROS, worldly power and strength, as embodied in Esau, man of the FIELD.Jacob struggle embodies the struggle of all who seek to overcome obstacles and attach themselves to the creator.
