And Laban arose early in the morning and kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them, and Laban went and returned to his place.
Genesis 32:1 (The Israel Bible™)
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם לָבָן בַּבֹּקֶר וַיְנַשֵּׁק לְבָנָיו וְלִבְנוֹתָיו וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶתְהֶם וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיָּשָׁב לָבָן לִמְקֹמוֹ
בראשית לב:א
va-yash-kaym la-van ba-bo-ker va-y'-na-shayk l'-va-nav v'-liv-no-tav va-y'-va-rekh et-hem, va-yay-lekh va-ya-shav la-van lim-ko-mo
Today's Israel Inspiration
In the Book of Genesis we are introduced to the beautiful custom of blessing others. In Judaism it is taught that every person has the power to bestow blessings, if conferred with genuine sincerity. From today's verse we see that even the blessings of the deceitful Laban were potent, since he gave them to his family wholeheartedly.
