MEDITATION: Our Feelings Are Angels (Parashat Vayetze)

In this meditation, we explore the story of the angels that appear to Yaakov at the end of the parsha and its relationship to the beginning of next week’s parsha, when Yaakov sends out messengers to make contact with Esav. We consider the idea that these angels may have been the uneasy feelings that Yaakov had in anticipation of reconnecting to Esav, and that our feelings are in fact often divine angels that come to help us heal and grow.
