Why does Yakov call his sons - the children of Israel - to gather? How does Yakov ask Hashem (G-d) to be manifest in the lives of his children, on through the end of days? How does the unity of the people of Israel bring about redemption and the destruction of Gog? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.
