TORAH IN REAL TIME WITH RABBI SHLOMO GEMARA: PARSHAT VAYISHLACH....YA'AKOV DEFEATS AN ANGEL! (Audio/Visual)

This week on the podcast, TORAH IN REAL TIME WITH RABBI SHLOMO GEMARA, we step into PARSHAT VAYISHLACH — a portion alive with tension, courage, and the pounding heart of a man walking straight into his destiny. Jacob is no longer the young fugitive who once fled his brother’s fury. He is a husband, a father, a shepherd, a survivor. But there is one thing he has avoided for twenty long years: facing Esau. And now, he must. The portion opens with a chilling message: Esau is approaching. With four hundred men. The desert itself seems to hold its breath. Jacob divides his camp, sends gifts, whispers desperate prayers. The past he ran from is no longer behind him — it’s charging toward him. And then comes the night. Jacob, alone by the riverbank, is seized by a mysterious figure — part man, part angel, part reflection of his own soul. They wrestle until dawn in a battle of flesh and faith. When the sun rises, Jacob limps… but he is transformed. He receives a new name: Israel — the one who wrestles and does not let go. By morning, the long-awaited encounter arrives. Yet instead of violence, Jacob meets an unexpected miracle: a brother’s embrace. But Vayishlach doesn’t end there. We witness the tragedy of Dinah, the fall of Shechem, the death of Rachel on the road, and Isaac’s final breath. These are moments that scar families and shape the future of a nation. Vayishlach is raw drama — a story about the wounds we carry, the fears we finally face, and the moments that rename us. It asks each of us: What from our past still follows us? What must we confront to move forward? And when we struggle — truly struggle — who do we become? ——🎧 The Avrum Rosensweig Show —— A one-of-a-kind, intimate schmooze-fest, hosted and produced by the endlessly curious veteran radio and TV personality, Avrum Rosensweig.
