Summary of Today's Chumash

In the sixth aliyah, when Lavan is out shearing his sheep, Yakov takes his family and belongings and tries to slip away to avoid Lavan preventing him. Also, Rachel steals one of Lavan's idols. Lavan catches up with them and complains that he wasn't given the chance to send off his daughters with fanfare. Moreover, he complains about the missing idol. Yakov said "whomever you find your idol with, shall not live". Lavan searches, but doesn't find his idol. (But because the Tzadik Yakov uttered these words, Rachel dies at a young age and is later buried in Beis Lechem.)
