Tonight is another meeting of the Torah group. We've gotten to a very interesting part of Genesis: the story of Jacob and Rachel/Rachel and Leah/Jacob and his brother Esau redux. At this point in the book, all of the previous themes have been woven together like a handful of braided ribbons: the overthrow of primogeniture; women's rather direct relationship with the divine and their hand in shaping history; deception as a way of furthering this destiny, etc.
I am interested to hear what other members of the group have to say about these themes, and how they have intensified in complexity and meaning as we have been going along.
