In this week’s parsha, we read the story of Jacob and Esau\u2019s reunion. After many years of separation, Jacob hears that his brother is on his way to meet him with an army of four hundred men. So he decides to do three things. 1. He divides his camp into two separate group. 2. He prays to God for help. 3. He sends servants to deliver gifts to Esau.<\/p>\n

That night he is attacked by a mysterious stranger, who he fights. He refuses to let the stranger go until he is given a blessing. Instead, the stranger gives Jacob a new name – Israel, which means \u201csomeone who fights with God and with men and wins.\u201d Our Rabbis teach us that Jacob had been renamed by an angel.<\/p>\n

The next day the two brothers meet, and hug. Jacob had been scared they would fight but instead there is only love between them. The parsha ends with the death of Isaac, and a list of all of the descendants of Esau.<\/p>\n
