Now there's even more Torah to learn and explore!

Open the Parashat Vayeitzei (year 1) magazine to explore: What does it mean that Leah's eyes were "rakkot"? What prayer do you say on a journey? And what are the different kinds of line breaks in a Torah scroll?

Open the Parashat Vayeitzei (year 2) magazine to explore: What is the symbolism of Yaakov's dream with the angels and the ladder? Why were Yaakov's children given their names...and what do our own names mean? What does it mean that we talk about deception as "genivat da'at," stealing someone's mind? And, are some places holier than others?

Open the Parashat Vayeitzei (year 3) magazine to explore: How far would you go to prevent someone from being embarrassed? When can envy be good? And why does the Torah repeat words?
