Our Parsha begins with Yaakov leaving Beer Sheva and heading to Charan to run away from Esav and find a wife. On his way, he rested overnight the future home of the Beis Hamikdash, Mt. Moriah.
During the night, he dreamt of a ladder reaching up to heaven with angels ascending and descending it. Then, G‑d appeared and informed Yaakov, that He would give this very land to his descendants, and that He would safeguard him until he returned to Cana’an. The next morning, Yaakov woke up and recognized the holiness of this mountain and named it Beis E-l (“the house of G‑d”).
We find out why the Pasuk says Ya’akov left Be'er Sheva and went to Charan.
We learn a way to help people grow.
