In this deep Torah class on Parashat Vayetze, we explore the powerful spiritual connection between bread, clothing, and the soul — and how Yaakov Avinu’s vows reveal the rectification of Adam’s original sin, the relationship between body and soul, and the ultimate unity of Hashem.

Through teachings from the Ari HaKadosh, Rabbeinu Bechaye, the Chatam Sofer, and the story of Rabbi Akiva, we uncover how physical actions, like eating and dressing, are meant to elevate the body into a garment for the soul rather than a barrier to spirituality. This lesson explains why Yaakov prayed specifically for “bread to eat and clothing to wear,” how mitzvot create spiritual garments, and how the declaration of “Shema Yisrael — Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad” restores divine unity in the world.

A journey from the Tree of Knowledge to the hills of Bet El, from Adam HaRishon to Rabbi Akiva, this class shows how every Jew participates in the cosmic mission of transforming the physical into holiness and reuniting body and soul in service of Hashem.
