Parashat Vayetzei 5785

by Rabbi Ellen S. Wolintz-Fields

Parashat Vayetzei has the wonderful moment of Jacob waking up from his dream, and realizing that God was in the place where he slept. My wish for all of us is that we create an atmosphere in our homes, in our synagogues, in our communities, in our Affiliates, in which one feels the presence of God. May we all act and speak as if God is present with us, for each of us is the presence of God. If we all did behave in such a way, what a more wonderful world we could all live in. Am Yisrael Chai! All people of Israel Live!
