Yisrael, the modern Hebrew form of Israel, is a name that originates from the Bible, specifically from the Book of Genesis. It was given to Jacob after he wrestled with angel, symbolizing his spiritual battle and eventual triumph. Yisrael translates to 'God contends'or 'one who struggles with God', but it can also imply 'he who prevails with God'. It reflects Jacob’s relentless series of struggles and his ability to prevail. Over time, the name has become significant in Jewish culture, symbolizing perseverance and spiritual resilience. It is not just a name but a title that signifies a person’s mission to challenge their environment and bring out the best in themselves and others.
