Jacob's Encounter: Wrestling or Embracing?

We will look at classical and contemporary art (written and visual) that illuminates that famous scene of Jacob wrestling with...an angel?...a man?...himself? The very ambiguity of the scene lends itself to personal response in art, poetry and midrash. We will explore ways of engaging with Torah through text and art.
