Point clés du cours

• Vayetze means "he left": Jacob leaves his father for a 14 year journey of spiritual study
• Jacob marries Leah and Rachel and fathers 12 children who become the heads of the 12 tribes of Israel 
• Jacobs dream of the ladder with angels coming down and going up 
• Rashi's interpretation and the Zohar explanation of Jacob’s dream 
• The angels going upwards symbolize redemption and those going downward symbolize exile
• Both sets of angels are ultimately controlled by the Tetragrammaton 
• Finding Light in both exile and redemption
• Jacob learns that he must go against his nature to find all the sparks of Light 
• Every accomplishment includes both exile and redemption
• Understanding Galut (exile) and Ge’ulah (redemption)
• One letter difference between Galut and Ge’ulah: The letter "aleph" represents Light 
• Discovering that we were in exile when we experience small amounts of redemption 
• The purpose and use of exile is to build the vessel of craving for Light 
• Embracing the turmoil of exile in order to build our desire for the Light
• Fixing our problems is not redemption: True redemption comes from channeling our potential, not allowing chaos to control us and maintaining total certainty 
• True redemption does not seek to remove pain, it means embracing the good and the bad 
• Each exile elevates us to the next redemption 
• Jacob is our role model for learning how to build our resilience to pain for the larger purpose of channeling our true potential 
• Coming to Kabbalah just to “fix” our problems
• Giving with 100 percent even when things are not exactly the way we want leads to redemption 
• Realizing both Light and darkness brings us to the Light
