Faith in Our Darkest Hour ✡ "The Break of Dawn" - ISRAEL365

Jacob was left alone and a man wrestled with him until the break of dawn. GENESIS (32:25)   וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ וַיֵּאָבֵק אִישׁ עִמּוֹ עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר בראשית לב:כה va-yee-va-tayr ya-a-kov l'-va-do va-yay-a-vayk eesh i-mo ad a-lot ha-sha-khar

Jerusalem Inspiration In today's verse we learn about Jacob's infamous struggle with an angel, alone, in the pre-dawn hours.   The Hebrew word for dawn, שחר, 'sha-khar' is almost identical to the word black, 'sha-khor', שחור. The sages teach that after the darkest, blackest hours in our history, the dawn will follow.  Indeed, following the horrors of the Holocaust, came the dawn of the State of Israel.  In the country's short history there have been many black days, and, please God, the dawn of redemption is near.
