"I can't remember the last time my conscience dislocated my hip"
This week's parsha is Vayishlach, a sentimental favorite because it was the Torah portion I read at my bat mitzvah:

Jacob wrestles with a stranger (some say an angel; this commentator has an interesting interpretation, though) who injures his groin; he becomes "Israel." Perhaps appropriate because although I'm an atheist, I'm fairly sure that gee-dash-dee and I have spent a good amount of time beating one another up. ;)

Definitely an interesting interpretation of the Jacob wrestling with the stranger story. Though I'm not sure Esau would know about renaming Jacob as Israel.
