Vayishlach

I have an (almost) daily spiritual practice of reading part of the weekly Torah portion and searching for one or two psukim (phrases) that speak to my heart. Each week I then select a "pasuk of the week" to inspire the creation of a piece of graphic art. I first used this approach in a class in 2015 when I illustrated a phrase in Genesis 32:29, …ki-sarita im-Elohim v’im-anashim va-tuchal, sometimes translated as you have wrestled with beings divine and human, and have prevailed (at left). Many people can identify as "God Wrestlers," struggling to connect to God (or even just to utter the word "God") as they seek greater connection to what is sacred in their lives.
