Erev Shabbat Parshat Vayetze - Yaakov's Priorities and God's Promise

Yaakov is ready to leave Lavan’s household. But then Yaakov consents to stay.

Rav Samet points out that Yaakov is now primarily focused on making money. Whereas before, equipped only with a stick, he dreamt of God, now he dreams about making more money. Yaakov is now at a much lower level than when he wishes to leave after twenty years, sneaking out as opposed to proudly stating that he would like to leave. We look at the rest of Yaakov's journey and analyze God’s promise to Yaakov . Ultimately , God will be with him -and us- through thick and thin if we bring Him into our lives.
