MEDITATION: Knowing Our Own Strength (Parashat Vayishlach)

Continuing our angel theme from last week, this week we turn to Yaakov’s wrestling with the angel. Sometimes blessing comes to us through such struggle and conflict. Yaakov needed this angel in order to learn that he was not small and insecure, as he thought, but strong and infinitely capable. In this meditation, we consider who these angels are inside and outside us and we explore how standing tall and fierce in a face to face encounter with them helps us to know who we really are, helps us to know our own strength.
