In this week's Torah portion, we hear from Dina's father, her brothers, and even her rapist. But Dina herself gets not a word. The legacy of Jacob demands that we confront these shadowy parts of ourselves and our worlds, rather than silence them. MORE>

Nancy Reuben Greenfield has written three adaptations of the Torah, including an
interactive family version at www.TiptoeThroughTheTorah.com, and an engaging
Jewish immigrant novel, The Golden Medina, available on itunes and Amazon
.



Many years after his marriages to Rachel and Leah, Jacob received word from God that it was time to return home. Jacob sent messengers ahead to meet his brother Esau. "Tell him that his servant Jacob has been with Laban until now. Tell him that I have acquired herds and flocks and servants. Tell him I seek favor in his eyes."
The messengers soon returned. "Your brother is coming to meet you, but there are 400 men with him."
Gifts for Esau
Jacob was very much afraid of his brother (because Jacob had deceived their father into giving him the special first-born blessing that was meant for Esau). So Jacob divided his camp saying, "If Esau strikes down one camp, the other will escape."

The Fate of the Edomites
The haftarah for Vayishlah is the entire book of Obadiah, the shortest book in the Bible, clocking in at only 21 verses in a single chapter.
Who Was Obadiah?
According to rabbinic tradition, Obadiah was a convert to Judaism from Edom and a servant in the court of Ahab and Jezebel, the king and queen of Israel. Though it's not clear exactly when he lived, his prophecy is mainly concerned with how the Edomites mistreated the Israelites, which was likely in the aftermath of the destruction of the first Temple.
