In this week’s parshah, Parshas Vayishlach, after Yaakov Avinu’s fight with the Malach, he asks for its name. Dovid Taub uses this as an opportunity to investigate proper “angel-etiquette.”
The “Commentary Kaleidoscope” explores the identity of Devorah, Rivkah’s nurse, who passes away in this week’s parshah.
This edition of the Parshah Almanac also features a riddle from Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, known as the Ben Ish Chai, based on a fox parable brought by Rashi on Gemara.
