The Line Connectng Eternity

The desire for God is so great for the leaders of Israel that their souls separate from their bodies. They did not die but went up in a kiss to the eternally good world. There are a number of great people throughout history about whom it is said that they did not die, they are Yaakov, Moshe, Aharon, Miriam and Dovid.
The first word of each Parsha that is focused on the life of Yaakov begins with the letter vov. The word יצא indicates the future (will go out). Add the letter ו, which indicates the present (because it is the central letter of the word הוה which means the present. CL) and it changes the future to the past and you get ויצא, which means "and he went." So through the Parshios of ויצא, וישלח, וישב, ויהי מקץ, ויגש, ויחי there is a connection between the past, present and future. This is Yaakov who symbolizes eternity who existed outside the boundaries of time.
