NAALEH.COM and YU TORAH PARSHAS SHELACH 5774 Gigantic Goodness By: Mrs. Shira Smiles
PLEASE HAVE IN MIND THE KIDNAPPED BOYS WHILE LEARNING THIS 1. Yaakov Naftali ben Rachel Devorah 2. Gilad Michael ben Bat Galim 3. Eyal ben Iris Teshurah
Moshe Rabbenu sends twelve spies with specific instructions to reconnoiter the land Hashem has promised Bnei Yisroel. When the spies return, ten of them issue a very negative report, frightening the nation. Joshua and Caleb then try their best to calm Bnei Yisroel and allay their fears. They tell the people, “… the land is very, very good,” urging them to trust in Hashem and not be afraid. As we know, Joshua and Caleb were not successful.
All twelve of these spies were great men, yet ten of them sinned and caused others to sin. How could they have fallen so low, and how were the words of Joshua and Caleb an appropriate, albeit ineffective, response to the words of the other spies?
