Likutey Halakhot, Orach Chaim, Hoda'ah #6 025-7
The focus on Jacob’s wrestling with the angel as a symbol of spiritual struggles tied to sadness, depression, and the delay of the Messiah’s arrival. Jacob’s resilience and joy were shown to empower his descendants through tzaddikim, with his victory over the angel reflecting spiritual authority and the transformation of sadness into holiness. Rashi’s interpretation of Jacob’s request for blessing, contrasted with literal readings, highlighted Jacob’s determination to secure spiritual strength for future generations, while Reb Noson identified the angel as sadness, emphasizing psychological depth. Teachings from Rebbe Nachman explained that joy must actively pursue and transform sadness, with happiness used as a tool for reframing suffering and revealing hidden good. Jacob’s wrestling was presented as a model for permanently converting sadness into joy, symbolized by the blessing’s future orientation, establishing joy as the foundation of redemption.
