Yaakov & Yisroel - Vayishlach 5770



The Chasam Sofer has a Gevaldige insight and Havana into the difference between the way Hashem and the Sar Shel Eisav gave the name. Yisrael is a name of Kedushah and Yaakov is the more Pashuta name. The 22 years that Yosef was away, since the Sh’chinah was not Sh’ruyah, Yaakov was called “Yaakov” the more Pashuta name. He starts to be called Yisroel, when he finds out that Yosef is alive.

In Parshas Vayigash in 45:27-28 (כז  וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו, אֵת כָּל-דִּבְרֵי יוֹסֵף אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵהֶם, וַיַּרְא אֶת-הָעֲגָלוֹת, אֲשֶׁר-שָׁלַח יוֹסֵף לָשֵׂאת אֹתוֹ; וַתְּחִי, רוּחַ יַעֲקֹב אֲבִיהֶם כח  וַיֹּאמֶר, יִשְׂרָאֵל, רַב עוֹד-יוֹסֵף בְּנִי, חָי; אֵלְכָה וְאֶרְאֶנּוּ, בְּטֶרֶם אָמוּת) is when Yaakov is notified that Yosef is still alive, and that is when it says, (וַיֹּאמֶר, יִשְׂרָאֵל, רַב עוֹד-יוֹסֵף בְּנִי, חָי). There is a Gematria that Yaakov + Satan (meaning when Yaakov conquered the Satan) = Yisroel. Yisroel is Merameiz to Yeish Shishim Ribui B’Toirah, meaning Kol Hatoirah Kulai. Yaakov is Merameiz the Ayin Kuf Bais Taivos of the Aseres Hadibros. When the Sar Shel Eisav gives the name it is interesting, he says (לֹא יַעֲקֹב יֵאָמֵר עוֹד שִׁמְךָ--כִּי, אִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל). Hakadoish Baruch Hu adds something. If we would only have the Posuk of the Sar Shel Eisav we would only have Yisroel and Yaakov would no longer be a name for him.

The Gemarah Darshuns in Maseches B’rachois on 12b (bottom line) to 13a, that what does Hashem mean by, (לֹא-יִקָּרֵא שִׁמְךָ עוֹד יַעֲקֹב)? Even though he has the name Yisroel, he shouldn’t lose the name Yaakov, however, it is not the Ikur name. I would think that because of the higher Madreiga of the name Yisroel, that Hashem would only want the name to be Yisroel and Sar Shel Eisav should only want the name Yaakov?

When Klal Yisroel is Yisroel, it is a rare occurrence, as Klal Yisroel rarely has perfection. A person has to be a Yaakov also, because of times that he is falling in his Avoidas Hashem. In the Haftoirah for Parshas Sh’mois, found in Yeshayah, 27:6, it says, (הַבָּאִים יַשְׁרֵשׁ יַעֲקֹב, יָצִיץ וּפָרַח יִשְׂרָאֵל). Meaning Yaakov is the Shoiresh of the people who came down to Mitzrayim. Later when they reach a higher Madreiga, to bud and become beautiful, then the Darga of Yisroel is reached.
