R. Avital Hochstein on Parashat VaYeitzei: A Covenant of Separation
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Throughout Parashat VaYeitzei, almost from their very first encounter, Lavan and Ya’akov are locked in conflict. But there is a rare moment of encounter—though a fraught one—where the verses describe a desire to bridge: “Come, then, let us make a covenant, you and I” (Genesis 31:44 ). What emerges is a covenant of separation—a covenant in which much of the content is devoted to how the two will live apart, not together.
