Self-Sacrifice: Why Earlier Generations Merited Miracles
Parashat Vayetzeh: Just The Messenger
In this week’s parasha Vayetze, we read about Yaakov being swindled by Lavan time and time again. Yaakov worked in good faith for seven whole years, anticipating marrying Rachel. Lavan had clearly agreed to give Rachel to Yaakov in exchange for that work, but then when the time came to make good on his end of the deal, Lavan deceivingly switched Rachel for Leah.
Hashem is always in charge. Nobody can help or harm us. There is no reason to get angry at the messenger and, anyway, everything that happens is for our ultimate good.
Shabbat Shalom!
