Parsha Vayishlach and Wrestlemania (Torah Video Mashup)

November 12, 2013 by Patrick Beaulier

There are lots of different ways we wrestle. Some of us wrestle with difficult decisions. Some of us wrestle with the weight of our family and our friends, and some of us wrestle in other ways. In this week’s Torah portion, Vayishlach, Jacob wrestles with a mysterious figure. Some say it was an angel. Some say it was God. Others say it was his brother Esau. We do know that after this event, Jacob’s name becomes Israel. Struggling changes us; sometimes it changes our very identity, just like it did for Jacob.

We all wrestle. And we all change. The question is: are you changing for better, or worse?

Judaism: the real Wrestlemania.
