Quotable Quote For everything there is a season, a time for every matter under the heaven: A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break and a time to build. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time of wailing and a time of dancing. A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away. A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace... Thoughts on the Parshah from Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar

They warn the Jewish Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar people not to enter the Holy Land because of the many risks, invoking paralyzing fear. Multiple Personalities By Tzvi Freeman After promulgating their position, it is then publicly announced that the scouts and the Jewish people will be punished for their misguided attitude towards Israel. Instantly, they realize their mistake, repent and say “We are now ready! We shall go forward to the place that G-d described”. Moses counters by saying… “Do not proceed, G-d is not with you” (Chapter 14, Verses 40-44).

Since the Jewish people had already decided to repent, why doesn’t G-d accept it and tell Moses to let them proceed instead of rejecting them, underscoring their having become severed from G-dliness? Didn’t they deserve an act of forgiveness?

On closer scrutiny we see that though they were willing to go You may consider yourself a single person, but there are forward they would do so without the Torah.

9 Inspiration, Insights & Ideas Bringing Torah lessons to LIFE!

Hayom Yom In the winter of 1942, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneersohn, of righteous memory, gave his son- in-law, the future Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, the task of compiling an anthology of Chasidic aphorisms and customs arranged according to the days of the year. The calendar was entitled Hayom Yom. In describing this work Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak wrote: …”A book that is small in format…but bursting with pearls and diamonds of choicest quality.” “A splendid palace of Chasidism.” True to these words, Hayom Yom has become a beloved classic work and a source of daily spiritual sustenance.
