Secret of No Name

Why did the Angel say to Yaakov - Why do you ask for my name ? 32:28

What is the point ?

This is explained that to protect ourselves from the Evil Inclination we need to know that he always has new disguises. The name will just confuse us. We need to focus on Torah study to learn how to deal with & overcome all of the ongoing challenges.

Answer

One who converted is considered as a newborn.

One who is in a position of authority is held responsible for those he represents.
