Parashat Va'yeitzei 5783: What is Jacob's Ladder?

The patriarch Jacob's vision of a ladder spanning from earth to heaven was no ordinary dream...it was a template and spiritual guide to teach us how to connect heaven and earth. The ladder of life!
The Torah portion of Va'yeitzei (Genesis 28 : 10 - 32 : 3) is read on Shabbat, Kislev 9, 5783 - December 3, 2022

That was AWESOME. I am going to listen to this one again. And maybe again.

[@susansmith-Bibleresearch4674]

Thank you, yes, we are truly moving more into multi- dimensional living...or for some, maybe not. Thank you for teaching us how to cling to God instead of simply holding on to all that is on Earth around us.

Shabbat Shalom Rabbi. What a beautiful teaching on Ya’acob’s ladder - so deep and filled with the glory of HaShem. It is always such a blessing to start Shabbat with your Torah teachings.

Dreaming for meaning ... 💕

Shabbat Shalom, thank you Rabbi

[@lorenzomarioruscello7691]

Toda Rabbi. This resonates with me

[@ronschofield8641]

Respectfully....
I have been brought to the understanding of this dream...by the Spirit of God . I have searched for another who's mind has been enlightened. I can tell you this, the dream was not just a sign nor a metaphor. The beauty of these experiences that are given to the faithful is that many who are seeking truth may be rewarded on a variety of levels.....until one arrives at the truth.

Thanks.
If the ascending and descending means the spiritual level, what does it mean for angels to descend? Can they act wrongly? Or when this ladder is in us what are then the angels? Parts of our soul?

When did Jacob convert? There at Betel?
