Yaakov’s escape from Eisav isn’t just a story, but one of the most misunderstood moments in the Torah. Why did Rivka hide the real reason for his departure? Why did Yaakov stop for 14 years to learn Torah instead of going straight to find a wife? Why wasn’t he punished for those years, but was punished for 22 years of not honoring his parents? What exactly was the meaning of the ladder, the angels, and its unbelievable width? This lesson uncovers the layers of the dream, the struggle, the escape — and the roadmap for spiritual growth that applies to every Jew in every generation.
