ספר בראשית

‎Yet another approach sees in the words ‎אנכי אעלך גם עלה‎, an ‎allusion that just as G’d gives man the opportunity to constantly ‎ascend to higher spiritual levels, as opposed to both the animals ‎and the angels, so even the satisfaction one may feel in one’s ‎achievement should never become a predominant feeling, but one ‎must continuously strive to ascend ever higher. G’d teaches ‎Yaakov this lesson as one to pass on to his children, and for them ‎to pass on to the Jewish people. Seeing that they are known as ‎‎“G’d’s people,” it is their task to emulate G’d’s ways, i.e. to strive ‎for ever higher levels of holiness.‎
