Yaakov established the Ma'ariv prayer, symbolizing times of darkness and suffering. By praying with focus despite troubles, one demonstrates deep connection to G-d, causing their burdens to fade both mentally and in reality. Yaakov is linked to Shabbos, when Jews set aside their worries to embrace sacred joy, gaining strength to endure exile.
This parshah uniquely lacks divisions, reflecting the hidden nature of Yaakov's ways, which strengthen Jews during exile's concealments. It prepares for redemption, as the Third Temple, linked to Yaakov, will be everlasting, where all suffering will disappear forever.
