Parshat Vayeitzei
-----------------

Ladder
- - - -

"And this is my bedroom," Ben said, pointing to the 'neatest' room in the house.

It was a Sunday afternoon and Ben had decided to show his best friend Adam around his new home. His family had moved here two weeks ago.

"What is that on the ceiling?" asked Adam, pointing to what looked like a complicated wooden contraption attached to the ceiling.

"Oh, that" said Ben, looking up, "that is the attic. There's a trap-door and when we open it a ladder comes down".

"Does some one sleep there?" Adam asked.

"Not really" Ben said. "My parents use it to store things, and whenever they need something from there, we pull that wooden handle and a ladder comes down, and the trap-door opens. Then I climb up and I pass the things down to my brother who then gives them to my mother".

"That's pretty cool" Adam said, "that is just like the Ladder in Jacob's dream".

"It's in this week's Sedra, how he went to sleep and he saw this big ladder reaching from earth to heaven, and there were angels first going up the ladder and then coming down, and Mr. Benson said that the reason why the angels went up first is because they are like our prayers, first we pray and then G-d answers us".

"Yeh, that is just the same" Ben said. "Because first I go up the ladder like the prayers, and then I pass the boxes down which are like the answers to our prayers".

"And the door is always there ready for us to open when ever we want to pray, all we have to do is just reach out and"

"Beennn! It's supper time!" they could hear Bens mother calling

"I guess that is the first prayer answered," Bed said. "I was pretty hungry!"

"Me too" Adam said. "By the way do you have an X-Box up there? I have always been praying for one"
