| | Crossing the River Jabbok |
| | As we have explained previously, the Jabbok River is associated with the struggle between good and evil, since it was there that Jacob wrestled with the angel of Esau (as is described in the following verses). | | | This, then, is the mystical meaning of the phrase "the Jabbok river crossing." (Ibid.) After this, [the partzuf of] Ya'akov issued from [this light] that was revealed from yesod of Abba [after it extends] outward. | | | We have now caught a glimpse of what this means in terms of the mystical dynamics of the universe. |

| | Jabbok - About Us |
| | Jabbok is the river that flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel. | | | The Rev. James Lupton founded the Jabbok Center for Christian Living with the vision of providing a safe, comfortable and spiritual haven to meet the needs of: battered women, abused children, substance abusers and many other spiritual and clinical needs that rob individuals of living a happy and healthy life to the fullest. | | | Therefore, for us, Jabbok means: "The Place or Way to come into the Fullness of God's plan for Our Life!" |

| | Because the land between the Jabbok and Arnon Rivers was taken from Moab (Num.21:26), it seems strange that it was Ammon, not Moab, who strove to retake the land from Israel. | | | By God's ordination, Moab and Ammon were able to take this land from "the Giants" (Dt.2:10-11, 19-22), who in very ancient times possessed all the land on both sides of the Jordan River. | | | It was when Ammon was making a vicious attempt to do so (cp.Amos 1:13) that the fearful elders of Israel, doubting God's power to save, demanded that a new form of government be instituted in Israel; they wanted a king (1Sam.12:12). |

| | MAHANAIM RECONSIDERED |
| | The close association of Mahanaim with Penuel and the Jabbok is not as apparent as is often supposed; only Genesis indicates any association with Penuel or the Jabbok, and even then the site could be miles N of both. | | | First, Khirbet Mahneh, just N of Ajlun, has been considered because of the correspondence between mhnym (Mahanaim) and the Arabic name Mahneh, which squares with the view that the Genesis account places Jacob N of the Jabbok when he was at Mahanaim. | | | 16 The dual site is also seen to explain Mahanaim's association with Penuel and the Jabbok in Genesis, while still being on the N side. |

| | Like Jacob's struggle with an angel—or his own demons—at the River Jabbok, which earned him the name Israel, the search for Jewish identity is a lone, wrenching, yet uplifting pursuit of personal truth. | | | It is a search illuminated by Jewish texts and traditions explored from many vantage points, strengthened by debate with other seekers, best guided by learned mentors who value probing questions more than definitive answers. | | | Rather than preaching about one denomination or another, they're giving me the tools I need to decide what kind of Jew I want to be." |
