Jacob's Pillow, 1

       Connie and I were watching a TV program called " A Chance to Dance."  The producers take the dancers to "Jacob's Pillow," a famous location out East devoted to the art of dance.

       I've known the name of the place forever but never realized till this series that it referred to the Biblical rock which Jacob used as a place to rest his head before his dream of angels going up and down a ladder to heaven and thence receiving God's blessings.  A prominent rock formation where everyone gets a picture taken was given the name "Jacob's Pillow," and that became the name of the whole site of the dance institute.

       I've always been fascinated with this particular part of the Torah.  It's when Jacob spends his first night away from home on his way to seek a bride.  My commentary on the passage tomorrow.
