SEVENTY FACES OF TORAH
This blog also appears weekly in Patheos.
Vayishlach/Say You Met An Angel
By Rabbi Gray Myrseth `17
He said, “Let me go, for dawn is breaking,”
but he said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” (Genesis 32:27)

Rain pours down my throat,
lightning glances off my teeth.
