Around the Shabbat Table

Covenant & Conversation | December 31, 2025
  • Can you think of a time in your life when your belief system was challenged, and you needed to advocate for your values or principles?
  • What other times in Bereishit (and in Tanach) have name changes and the importance of names come up?
  • What helps guide you when you are confronted with a morally complex decision? In what ways can you relate your experience to Yaakov’s story?

These questions come from this week’s Family Edition to Rabbi Sacks’ Covenant & Conversation. For an interactive, multi-generational study, check out the full edition at www.RabbiSacks.org/covenant-conversation-family-edition/vayetse/the-character-of-yaakov/
