Torah (1)

Shabbat Shalom. This week’s Torah portion Shelach, recounts a dramatic moment in Israel’s history: the sin of the spies. This familiar story raises questions, like why did the spies, leaders among the children of Israel, give a bad report? Did the leaders fear that they would lose their closeness to G-d once they entered the Land?

Shmuel reveals that the answers to these questions can be found in last week’s portion, next week’s portion, and in the strength of one’s belief.
