Overcoming Gaslighting: Parshat Vayetzei
Parshat Vayetzei’s Lavan is the ultimate gaslighter: he promises one thing, delivers another, then rewrites reality to keep control.
Yaakov defeats him not with tricks, but with truth, boundaries, and emunah.
Lesson for today: document facts, set limits, seek support, and never let a manipulator define your reality.
Stay grounded in truth – just like Yaakov.

Beyond the Headlines: The Message of Ayala Shkuri
Ayala Shkuri, who lost her daughter Mor on Oct 7 and husband Roni in a later attack, shared: “I’m not alone – Mor and Roni are with Hashem now. My answer is: do more, choose life, appreciate your loved ones while they’re here.” To mourn…and then vayakam – rise.

Derech Eretz Corner:THE MAGIC of FOLLOW THROUGH - KEEPING our WORD
A promise is a little seed planted with all one’s heart.
It grows each time you follow through on what you said you’d start.
If you keep your promise, and stick to your word, it grows so big and true.
It shows those you know that without a doubt, they can count on you.

Livnot U’Lehibanot: Orah Pourati of Los Angeles Joins Efforts to Rebuild Northern Israel
LA’s Orah Pourati just spent a week with Livnot U’Lehibanot rebuilding war-torn homes on Israel’s northern border. From fixing rocket-damaged houses on Moshav Avivim to preparing the kindergarten in Kibbutz Malkiya for the kids’ return, she worked side-by-side with families who haven’t stopped smiling despite everything. “They keep thanking us, but honestly we’re the ones thanking them for their unbelievable strength.”
