If the L-rd can appear to me in a vision of such grandeur at this unimportant spot, outside the city of Luz, then every place upon which I stand is potentially the house of G-d and any location on earth can be the gateway to heaven.” Rabbi Goldin notes that the power of this observation is heightened when we consider that Yaakov is about to leave Canaan for the rst time. “As we walked around that small Shul, we noticed that passages from the Torah had been painted on the walls in a fashion common to European synagogues of that time… As I continued to read … on the wall before me appeared the following passage, painted through who knows how many tears: ‘How awesome is this place! A sanctity created by a courageous group of nameless Jews who understood that even in the darkness of hell, even in the presence of their tormentors, even in the depths of pain and sorrow, holiness could somehow be achieved and G-d could somehow be found” (Unlocking… Bereishit, p.155-156). Wherever life takes us, wherever we nd ourselves, from whatever place we reach out - from the depths of our hearts and the recesses of our minds - to speak with Hashem, we must always know: How awesome is this place, it is none other than the house of G-d and the gateway to heaven. Though the night is dark and travails abound, like Yaakov, we have the Divine promise that our nation will be abundant and never falter, the Promised Land is a Divine gift to Am Yisrael, and Hashem will always be with us to protect and watch over us. And yet, we recall the sage words of Chazal: kol mah she’irah la’Avos, siman la’banim - all that happened to our forefathers is a foreshadowing for their children, the future generations of Am Yisrael (see Ramban to Bereishis 12:6). ‫ וַּיִיַק֣ץ יַעֲֹקב֮ מִּׁשְנָתֹו֒ וַּיֹ֕אמֶר אָכֵן֙ י
