<br><br><br>Special Note Five: There is a notable question many have asked relating<br>to this week's Parsha--and an incredible response, given, once again, by<br>HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, Shlita. Rashi teaches that Yaakov Avinu went to
<br>study in the Yeshiva of Shem and Ever for 14 years prior to traveling to<br>Lavan in Charan. What could he have studied there--after all did not<br>Avraham Avinu come to the Torah on his own without being taught by any
<br>of his ancestors? <br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all">I heard the following: <br><ol><li>Ya'akov learned from the Avos how to do Torah in EY amongst his family</li><li>From Sheim vo'ever he learned how to live Torah in Galus with the likes of Lavan
