Daily Aliya for Vayishlach, Shvii (7th Aliya)

Aliya Summary: The Torah continues naming the descendants of Esav and the kings that ruled the city-states, "even before there ruled a king in Israel". Israel must still go through many stages of refinement and pass through many trials and tribulations before they are to emerge as The People of Israel. This is echoed in the Pesach Haggada when it says that G-d gave territory to Esav and Yakov and his sons went down into Mitzrayim.
