About this episode
Parashat Vayetze 5782 - Ya'acov and the Stone Upon the Well Description: After securing the blessings, Ya'acov must flee the wrath of his brother Esav. Arriving at Charan, he encounters the shepherds and their flocks, and when he sees Rachel his cousin, he single-handedly rolls off the giant stone that sits upon the well in order to water her sheep. What might be the significance of his superhuman act?
