Parashat Vayishlach tells of Yaakov’s return to Beit-El, the site where he had beheld the famous prophetic vision of the ladder as he escaped from Eretz Yisrael. Now, upon Yaakov’s return to the land, he goes to Beit-El with his family and constructs an altar to God, whereupon he receives a prophecy in which God blesses him and reiterates his name’s change to “Yisrael” (chapter 35).
