Vayishlach - 2020

Chevre, this week’s parsha is וַיִּשְׁלַח (Vayishlach). As you may know, on Shabbat afternoon, we start to read the next parsha. Last week there was a discussion about how to read 1 word. It wasn’t the actual pronouncement of the word, but about the laining, the sing-song reading of the word. There were 2 variations, one had a happier tune and one had a dower (less happy) tune. The word is קטנתי and in this context it talks about how small Yaakov was or felt in relation to Hashem. The detail how to pronounce this is significant to understanding the meaning. In the world of AWS, the details often matter. Understanding the customer’s use case and requirements along with how a specific service or feature works or doesn’t can make the difference between a reliable, stable, and cost effective solution or a lot of hair pulling and frustration. We diligently work with our customers to make sure they can get the biggest bang for their buck from our services and platform. And I, for one, sleep well at night knowing we are helping our customers succeed. Shabbat Shalom.
