In this episode, we tackle (no pun intended!) one of the most powerful yet hard to understand episodes in Sefer Breishit: Yaakov's wrestling match with, well, "someone." This episode quite literally produces a name for the entire Jewish people--not to mention their eternal homeland. Along the way, we will dig deep into Yaakov's relationship with his twin brother, Esav, and ask some hard questions about Esav's legacy.
