What a fantastic read. Among others, I loved this part: "And the meaning of that, to me, has to do with teshuvah, the way we’re actually able to reinterpret the past. Because we can’t change the past, but we can change what it means to us.” So very true! And helpful! Also, I love that she is positive that Jacob fought his brother and not an angel. And the way she backed up her theory from evidence in the text. What a joy to read the entire essay! Thank you so much.
If you ever find her teaching a class we can take virtually, let me know. I’m all in.
ME TOO.
