In this parsha Jacob who sadly goes down to Egypt with his entire family as they are suffering from climate crisis in their land and Egypt has responded to the challenge by storing food. In the night Hashem spoke in images to Jacob – Israel – who says “here am I” and Hashem tells him to fear not and to know in Egypt his family will become a great nation and there his son Joseph would put his hand upon Jacob’s eyes as he departs his body. He has his dream on stones like ones he had when he dreamed of the ladder. The colors those of the sephirot tree of life. Out of the trials and challenges that we continually face that often discourage us, there are possibilities of fulfillment and transformation. Have faith and family and keep Hashem before us always.
