Genesis 32:4 – 36:43 || Hosea 12:13 – 14:10; Obadiah

Commentary by Rabbi Chaim Richman for The Temple Institute, Jerusalem, Israel:
«When Yaakov is about to reenter into the land of Israel he has a nighttime encounter with a mysterious stranger, an angel to be precise, whose identity is shrouded in the very dust their struggle kicks up. But it is not the identity of the angel that we need to know, but the identity of Yaakov/Yisrael, that is of import to us, and our own identities, in the light of his eternal wrestlings with G-d and man: “Your name shall no longer be called Yaakov, but Israel, because you have commanding power with- G-d and with men, and you have prevailed”»…more:

Since my secession from the Church in 2009, my Jewish Orthodox friends in Israel and I have been following the Fake News of Rome in articles and political Shabbat commentaries on GSI (God's Sabbath Int.). The former Pontiff destroyed the dwelling place of God, the temple in Jerusalem – fact! Was the New Testament and the Church just a world dominance inspired business idea of Rome? What is politics today? Enjoy your trip on GSI.
