Choosing Positive Influences
This week, we read the portion of Vayishlach, which translated means “to send away,” and that is precisely what Jacob is doing at the beginning of the story. Here we find Jacob sending himself and his family away. Jacob is leaving his father-in-law’s home after 22 years, taking his wife Rachel, his 11 sons, and his daughter with him. Why?

Ties That Can’t Be Broken
There’s a story of a man who is about to pass on to the next world. He gathers his family around him and gives each person a straw, telling each one, “Now take this straw and break it.” Each person breaks their straw easily. The man then produces another set of straws; these straws, however,...
