In Parashat Vayishlach, we confront the distressing account of Shechem, the son of Chamor, kidnapping and assaulting Dina. As we delve into the sequence of events depicted in the Torah, a puzzling question arises: Why is this narrative situated at this particular juncture? Yaakov, having resolved his longstanding conflict with Esav after returning from Lavan's household, appears to be on the path to Beit El to fulfill the vow made upon his departure. However, an unexpected stop in Shechem occurs. So, why does Yaakov pause there? What unfolds in this unsettling story? It's not the first instance of a woman being taken captive – we've seen Sarah and Rivka faced with similar challenges. Yet, this story unfolds uniquely. What does it signify, and why does it differ? What profound lesson does the Torah impart to us, especially in our present circumstances, as we grapple with significant challenges within our land? Join us as we unravel the layers of meaning embedded in this poignant narrative. 🔴 Make sure to subscribe here - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahSubscribe 👉 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Talking_Torah ✅ Follow and share the Talk on Facebook - https://bit.ly/TalkingTorahFacebookPage 🎧 Listen to the Talk on Spotify - http://bit.ly/talkingtorah 🍏 Listen on Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/3cgrzno ➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Book of Genesis ספר בראשית
