The Torah relates two instances in which Yaakov's name is changed to Yisrael. The first is after the struggle between Yaakov and Esav's angel (according to the Midrash that "the man" is Esav's guardian angel). "He said to him, 'what is your name?' and he said, 'Yaakov.' And he said, 'No longer shall you be called Yaakov, but Yisrael, for you have contended with Elokim and with men and have prevailed.'" (32:28-29).
The second time it is Hashem who changes Yaakov's name. "Elokim said to him, 'Your name is Yaakov; your name shall no longer be Yaakov, but Yisrael shall be your name, and He named him Yisrael." (35:10).

"And Yaakov was left alone"

(Genesis 32:25)
Kislev 11, 5772/December 9, 2011


On the eve of his reentry into the land of Israel, Yaakov avinu, (Jacob our forefather), finds himself alone. In this state of nighttime solitude he wrestles with a man until "the break of dawn." (Genesis 32:25) The two struggle throughout the night and as the morning light begins to appear, and as it becomes clear that Yaakov's mysterious interlocutor neither can prevail over Yaakov, nor can he linger past the dawn, he tellsYaakov, "'Your name shall no longer be called Yaakov, but Israel, because you have commanding power with [an angel of] G-d and with men, and you have prevailed.'" (ibid 32:29)
