In Parshat Vayishlach, it is stated: Vayavo Yaakov Shalem Ir Sh'khem. Seemingly, after G-d promised Yaakov "Behold, I am with you and I will guard you" from Lavan and Esav, it is self-evident that he arrived whole. Why does Rashi bother to bring the Midrash that says 'Shalem' means shalem beGufo, shalem beMamonno, shalem beTorato?
In a deep and insightful lesson based on the Likutei Sichot, we learn that the 'Shalem' is not merely external salvation, but an inner Chiddush (novelty) beyond nature and the promise. This is the secret to managing the 'Chisaron' (deficit) that is created not by fault, but precisely by the work of Birur (spiritual refinement) and occupation with worldly matters (the modern 'House of Lavan').
What was the Angel of Esav that caused the limp, and how is it completely nullified?
How do we transform the 'Doron' (wealth, time, strength) into holiness and complete the deficit?
And above all: How can a Jew, amidst the distraction and burden of the 'House of Lavan', remain at the level of did not forget his learning?
The message: Your soul was not delivered into exile. We have the strength of Yaakov Avinu to maintain the spiritual core in its completeness, amidst all the world's burdens. Ma'aseh Avot Siman laBanim.
