S1E8 Vayishlach 2022
from Parsha for Kids Hosted by Chana Friedman
In this week's episode, we learn what to do when faced with a crisis. There are several crises in this parsha: When it seems like Esav is about to attack, Yaakov must determine what to do. In the end, he combines practical steps to preserve his family with a spiritual focus, praying to God for salvation. Similarly, when Yaakov is attacked by an unknown figure, it turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Yaakov remains level-headed throughout the encounter, not allowing his fear to rule him. When Dinah is harmed and kidnapped, Yaakov and his sons disagree about the best approach. After learning more, you can consider what *you* would have done in that situation. When Rachel dies in childbirth, Yaaakov makes sure to rename his son, recognizing the name she had originally bestowed upon the child was given out of pain. Based on our questions and discussions, we come up with some very important lessons and takeaways for our own lives!
