Parashat Vayeitzei – I Could Have Had a V-8
avatar

Parashat Vayeitzei — November 28, 2009 — 11 Kislev 5770 Jacob finds himself running away from home, chased by an irate brother from whom he stole not only the birthright but also the blessing that belongs to the firstborn from their father. On that first night he finds a rock to use as his pillow, and it comes to no surprise to us that he has a restless night, dreaming about angels going up and down some ladder that leads to the heavens. Upon waking, he slaps the side of his head with the heel of his hand and he announces to himself, “Wow, I could’ve had a V-8!” Maybe those were not his exact words. However, the fact that he had a revelation is conveyed in the words that are recorded in the Torah, “God was in this place and I, I didn’t know it!”
