The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yehoshua Nissan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

all right so here we go parshas vayetze and what we're going to talk about today is a part of the parasha that's always been mysterious the the silvershell was going to give us a awesome interpretation of this part of the power show and we're going to ride with it and we're going to go and it may seem at first that he's taking us far afield of the simple understanding of the story and almost doesn't seem connected to the and almost doesn't seem connected to the story at all but hopefully we'll come full circle and we'll realize perhaps why hashem would tuck this message that dennis basham tells us right here in this story so let's start with the story what's going on and then then michelle is going to take us on a journey to a very powerful point that we've certainly all thought about in our lives and we can never stop churning over if we want to keep growing in this area what's the story what's the part of the power shot i'm talking about power shot i'm talking about let's figure out where we are okay context yaakov last week just nabbed the brachus the blessings from asav he got them from yitzhak right on their ace of nose his mother tells him um i gotta tell you i hate to tell you this but your brother wants to kill you you gotta hightail it out of here so he runs where does he go to he goes to love on his uncle at lovan's home we know he proceeds to work for 14 years seven years
