The pair, who share a teenage son, currently reside 15 minutes apart in the village of Oundle, North Northamptonshire.

If we can discern the differences between the themes and content of these two readings, we can learn valuable insights not only into the words of the prophets, but also into the contrasting facets of Yaakov's life, which echo our own complex reality as Jews and as members of society. They are referenced by the prophet here because they both highlight moments of conflict and struggle. Yaakov Avinu's life, from the beginning, was shaped by battles against those stronger than him, most notably Esav; according to the Sages, even the angel with whom Yaakov wrestled was the guardian angel of his older twin (Rashi, Bereshiet 32:25). This tension stands at the heart of why Ashkenazic communities chose this passage; it anchors the haftara firmly in the parsha's events, while…...

Q: My ex and I constantly argue about our parenting styles. I'm structured; he's loose. I worry that the differences confuse our kids. He thinks I'm too strict. I think he's too laid back. What is good ex-etiquette? A: Most co-parenting battles are not actually about parenting styles. They're about assumptions.

But in case after case, I've found that parents with very different methods are often trying to accomplish the exact same thing. This is where the concept of parallel intentions changes everything. Parallel intentions happen when both parents want the same outcome for their children…...

6+ hour, 55+ min ago (808+ words) Andrew in the Bible Andrew is mentioned by name twice in Matthew, four times in Mark, once in Luke, six times in John, and once Acts. He was a fisherman who was first a disciple of John the Baptist (John 1:40). When he recognised Jesus as the Messiah he became a disciple of Jesus. He is regarded as being the first to follow Jesus and the first to lead others to him. It seems that Jesus often stayed at Andrew and Peter's house in Capernaum. Archaeological excavations in Capernaum uncovered a simple first-century house beneath a later Byzantine octagonal church, which was built over the house identified as the one where Peter and Andrew lived. The house is now the site of a Catholic church. Andrew and Peter were amongst the disciples who became apostles (Matthew 10:2, Mark 3:18, Luke 6:14). In fact, Peter…...
