Vayeitze | What does Jacob’s ladder represent?

The ladder represents our mandate to bring the Divine values of heaven to earth, and it also shows that G-d is interested in and connected to what is happening here in our world. We fulfil this mandate through fulfilling the mitzvot which bring G-d’s light and wisdom to our world and guide us to form a bond of deep connection with Him.
