The Portion
"The Portion" is a podcast where Aaron Roller, a curious Orthodox Jew, sits down with his brother-in-law, Rabbi Jonathan Bienenfeld, to discuss the portion of the Torah that is read each week by Jews around the world. The conversation is informal and friendly, but not afraid to delve into the wealth of Jewish wisdom and interpretation. Guests may join to offer their takes on the portion as well.

Welcome to our discussion about Parshat VaYishlach, where Jacob returns back to the land of Canaan and reunites with his brother Esau. In this episode, we discuss:
- Why does Jacob even need to tell Jacob he's coming home?
- What's with all the angels?
- How do we relate the lives of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs to our own experiences?
- Has Rabbi Bienenfeld involved Aaron in a Ponzi scheme?
All this and more will be addressed on this week's episode.
