189. Jacob's Path - Daily Dose of Wisdom

"G‑dliness is everything" is the path of Abraham. Abraham understood that there is a Reality beyond all realities, before which no existence is true. Therefore, he smashed the idols and declared to all people and in all places that there is only One.

"Everything is G‑dliness" is the path of Isaac. Isaac saw that the world is in truth G‑dly. Therefore, Isaac dug wells, in the earth and in the people. He dug away the darkness and found the spark of G‑dliness within each thing.

Jacob struggled with the darkness.
