Our Parsha this Shabbos is "Vayishlach," - "And (he) sent," and starts with Jacob sending "Malachim -Angels," to his brother Eisav."Yaakov has just fought and overcome the angel of Eisav (and also the angel of Amalek)-the angel Sama'el who was the same angel that tempted Chava in Gan Eiden- and now is ready to face His brother.Each nation has an angel who stands in the Heavenly Court arguing the case of their nation.A nation's angel is called a "Sar."A nation cannot be destroyed till its "Sar," has been destroyed.Thus,HaShem gives all nations a fair chance to do the right thing and each has the opportunity to follow HaShem faithfully. Here,Jacob sends angels to his brother Eisav.If we look at the word "Vatishlach," it directly translates as "And He Sent." But who is the "He?"The "Yud" gives us a clue for it is the first letter of HaShem's Name in "Yud Kei Vav Kay."So it is actually HaShem who sends the angels -thus at the permission of HaShem,Jacob sends these angels.Also,HaShem is always with a Holy Man.I have always thought that an angel is like the "Thought of HaShem." When we have thoughts,they can become a reality if we do something to see that they will become real,but when HaShem has a thought I have always believed that an Angel is Created-so beautiful is HaShem.Nothing in this Creation happens without HaShem.Even when Jacob sends angels,it is with the allowance of HaShem.This verse also points out that when a Jew goes out into the world,if they remain close to HaShem's Torah values,HaShem can send an angel with them on their way.The word "Vayishlach," can also be taken to be in the future tense,that when Jacob's progeny will go out to face our enemies at the End Of Days,HaShem will send "Malachim-Angels," to fight for us and help us against Amalek and other enemies we need to do is to keep to HaShem-to His Holy Torah.If we take all the Hebrew words that say "Vayishlach Yaakov Malachim L'fanaiv,"-"Then Jacob sent angels ahead of him," it comes to 853 in Gematriah and 853 is 8+5+3=16 which is 1+6=7 the number of the word Mashiach and the ushering in of the End Of Days.So if we keep to Torah as Yaakov did,then HaShem will send His angels before us to destroy our enemies and usher I'm The End Of Days.May HaShem always watch over you and keep you safe .With love HaShem,I wish You a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and to all of you and beautiful Shabbos Kodesh.
