Title: Struggle with G-d
Post by: Bourne on May 03, 2009, 05:07:50 PM

Hi.  Could someone please explain the Kahanist interpretation as to why the word "Israel" means "struggles with G-d" or alternatively "you have struggled with G-d and with men, and have prevailed"?

Thanks in advance for your help.
