Parsha:

Vayigash 

Description

While we know that Yisroel and Yaakov are the same person, juxtaposing the two names here clarifies the questions of the meaning of these names and why Yisroel retained the name of Yaakov after his struggle with the angel of Esau when the angel gave him the name Yisroel. Further, why does Hashem approach him as Yisroel in the night vision but call him, not once but twice, Yaakov when He actually addresses him?
