Prelude to a prophetic dream: Yaakov, fleeing from brother Esau, had time to reflect upon the crudeness and cruelty of man. Pondering the stoney hearted people who he had met in life, and their insensitivity to G-d, he gathered rocks beneath his head, that is, he mused upon their distance from G-d. Laying down to sleep with these thoughts upon his heart he dreamed an awesome dream. Vayeitzei (Genesis 28:10-32:3) Parashat Vayeitzei is read on Shabbat: Kislev 9, 5769/December 6, 2008 http://www.templeinstitute.org/
