Vayishlach - in The Liturgy

In The Liturgy

The Passover Haggadah, in the concluding nirtzah section of the Seder, in a reference to Genesis 32:23–30, recounts how Israel struggled with an angel and overcame him at night.

In the Blessing after Meals (Birkat Hamazon), at the close of the fourth blessing (of thanks for God’s goodness), Jews allude to God’s blessing of the Patriarchs described in Genesis 24:1, 27:33, and 33:11.

In the morning blessings (Birkot hashachar), before the first recitation of the Shema, Jews refer to God’s changing of Jacob’s name to Israel in Genesis 35:10.
