וַיִּוָּתֵ֥ר יַעֲקֹ֖ב לְבַדּ֑וֹ וַיֵּאָבֵ֥ק אִישׁ֙ עִמּ֔וֹ עַ֖ד עֲל֥וֹת הַשָּֽׁחַר׃ (בראשית לב:כה) "וְנִשְׂגַּב ה' לְבַדּוֹ" - אַף יַעֲקֹב "וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ". (בראשית רבה עז:א) יום אחד כשיצאתי מבית הכנסת, חבר שלי שאל אם אני רוצה ללכת איתו הביתה. בתגובה התבדחתי, "אולי אתה מפחד שאם אתה תלך לבד אתה עלול לפגוש את עצמך ולהיות לבד עם עצמך?" [...]

Jacob worked seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her. (Bereishis 29:20) Recently there has been a lot of roadwork in Jerusalem and I find that most of the time that I am on the road, traffic is moving at a crawl or at [...]
