How are people coping in Israel?

Shabbat Shalom

This week’s Torah portion, Parshat Shelach, tells the dramatic story of the twelve spies sent to scout the Land of Israel—a mission that would forever change the course of Jewish history.

Why did ten of the spies return with fear and doubt, while only Joshua and Caleb saw the land through eyes of faith? What was the true sin of the spies, and how does their failure still echo in our lives today?

More than a tale of fear versus courage, this portion challenges us to see the Land of Israel not just as territory, but as a divine promise—holy, chosen, and fundamentally different from any other place on earth.

Join us as we uncover the spiritual message behind the spies’ mistake, the holiness of the land, and what it means to trust in God’s vision, not just our own.

Watch now and discover the enduring lessons of Parshat Shelach!
