Vayetse 2014: The Struggles of Jacob as Prophecies for Us
Just about everything in the Torah Portion has to do with prophecy starting with Jacob going into exile and then his return to the land. In exile, Jacob receives injustice. It is this injustice that causes him to want to return to his land. When Jacob decides to return home, it is the LORD that supernaturally creates a flock of spotted and speckled sheep that belong exclusively to Jacob.

Leah and Rachel are the foremothers of a troubled people who have trouble with each other for almost 4000 years.
