Parashat Shelach:
Numbers chapters 13:1 – 15:41; Haftara: Joshua 2:1-24
Video Commentary by Rabbi Chaim Richman, The Temple Institute, Jerusalem:
“Twelve righteous men are sent to “spy” on the land of Israel. Ten return with an evil report, slandering the land of Israel. What went wrong? Narrow and short-sighted self-interest? Or was there a fundamental misunderstanding of Torah and G-d’s expectations of man in this world? Our generation today has been granted by G-d the opportunity to repair the devastating damage of the evil report and bring His light into the world”:
Shabbat Shalom
