Parshas Vayeitzei (5766)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

Yaakov Avinu made little effort to protect himself from Lavan’s deceit.  At first glance it seems that Lavan took full advantage of this.  The episode however concludes as a complete success for Yaakov, who gained everything.   Reuven, Shimon Levi, Yehuda, Yissachar and Zevulun; the Kohanim, Leviim, Moshe Rabeinu, malchus, Moshiach Tzidkaynu, the lomdei Torah and the supporters of Torah.  Yaakov was blessed with Divine intuition to inhibit action against Lavan and to rely on Hashem’s plan, which he was unaware of.

All our lives are constantly filled with a need for this guidance which Hashem supplies through His messengers to those who comprehend and yearn for this guidance.

Have a wonderful Shabos.
