When they returned from their reconnaissance, ten of the meraglim reported that the people would not be able to conquer the land. Only two of those sent - Yehoshua and Caleiv - insisted that Israel would prevail against the Cananites. How were those two able to withstand the pressure of the other meraglim and act independently? Rashi cites a medrash which says that when “Moshe called Hoshea bin Nun, Yehoshua" (Bamidbar 13:16) he was praying that Yehoshua should not be influenced by the evil plans of the other meraglim. The name change implies (as Rashi notes) this prayer. “May Hashem (Yud-Hay) save you from the plot of the Spies." The Targum Yonasan (See Tractate Megillah 3A where the Gemarah attributes its authorship to Reb Yonasan ben Uziel. Its overall style is very similar to that of Targum Onkelos, though at times it seems to be a looser paraphrase.) adds: "When Moshe saw his extreme humility, he called Hoshea bin Nun, Yehoshua." Caleiv, however, managed, on his own, that is without Moshe interceding on his behalf, to withstand the mergalim's scheme.

  • Bais Havaad on the Parsha, Parshas Eikev,Bais Havaad on the Parsha
    Bais HaVaad on the Parsha, Parshas Ha’azinu Good Condition Excerpted and adapted from a shiur by Dayan Yehoshua Grunwald September 17, 2021 https://baishavaad.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/DEV81_010_Haazinu_Legal_Owner _Giving_and_Owning_Your_Daled_Minim.mp3 On the first two days of Sukkos, one must own the arba’ah minim in order to fulfill the mitzvah of taking them. Those who do not own their own arba’ah minim generally use someone else’s set via matanah al menas lehachzir (giving a gift on the condition that it is returned afterward). But it is not clear whether tenai kaful (a double condition, i.e., where both the “if” and “if not” possibilities are expressed), which is necessary for conditions in other areas of halacha, is required here. According to the Smag, one must make a tenai kaful when giving a matanah al menas lehachzir for arba’ah minim. The Mordechai disagrees and notes that Rishonim debate whether a tenai kaful is necessary for conditions outside of gittin and kidushin (such as for mamonos). The Mordechai states that the halacha follows the Rashbam that it is unnecessary for mamonos. The Bais Yosef (O.C. 658) cites this machlokes and rules that we follow the Mordechai with regard to arba’ah minim. Although the Bais Yosef elsewhere (E.H. 38) cites both opinions and does not rule definitively like the Rashbam, the case of esrog may be more lenient for a number of reasons. These include the fact that perhaps there is a clear umdena that one wants the tenai to be valid even without the tenai kaful (Tosafos Kidushin 6b); tenai kaful may be unnecessary for metaltelin (Nesivos Hamishpat C.M.

  • Shelach Lecha Sermon June 20, 2020
    Whether Imagination is a Source of Power or Disempowerment is Up to You: Sermon on Shlach Lecha This morning, I would like to speak to you about the power of imagination. Here, let me put great emphasis on power. It was none other than Albert Einstein who was able to imagine things happening in the universe that are only now being verified. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." The English word “imagination” come from the Latin imaginare, ‘form an image of, represent’ and imaginari, ‘picture to oneself’. The ability to picture ourselves in a different situation, or the world not as it but as it could be, gives us power. Or, as Mohammed Ali once said, “The man who has no imagination has no wings!” If imagination gives us the power to see what can be and inspire us to achieve it, then logic would dictate that a person without imagination can find themselves powerless. In our portion this week, we will see what happens when a people’s imagination fails them, and also how imagination allows us to create new possibilities when the facts say otherwise. In our portion, Shlach Lecha, the Children of Israel stand on the precipice of the promised land in a place on the border called Kadesh Barnea. It is time to fulfill the promise that was made to Abraham and Sarah; time to settle the land. This generation had seen the power of God as no other had before or after them: • They had witnessed the plagues • They had walked on dry land as the sea split • They had stood at Sinai • They had eaten the manna that God had provided as the marched in the midbar In Shlach Lecha, the text begins: ב ְשׁ ַלח ְל ֣] ֲאנָ ֗ ִשׁים וְיָ ֨ ֻתר ֙וּ ֶאת־ ֶ֣א ֶרץ Send out for yourself men who will scout ְכּ ֔נַ ַען ֲא ֶשׁר־ ֲא ִ֥ני נ ֹ ֵ֖תן ִל ְב ֵ֣ני יִ ְשׂ ָר ֵ֑אל ִ֣אישׁ the Land of Canaan, which I am giving to ֶא ָח ֩ד ֨ ִאישׁ ֶא ֜ ָחד ְל ַמ ֵ֤טּה ֲאב ֹ ָתי ֙ו ִתּ ְשׁ ֔ ָלחוּ the children of Israel.

  • Yehoshua and Kalev Rabbi Yitzchok Hecht Graduate, NCYI Rabbinic Training Program
    Parshat Shelach 26 Sivan 5776 /July 2, 2016 Daf Yomi: Bava Kama 32; Nach Yomi: Isaiah 52 Mevorchim HaChodesh Tammuz Weekly Dvar Torah A project of the NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YOUNG ISRAEL SPONSORED BY THE HENRY, BERTHA AND EDWARD ROTHMAN FOUNDATION ROCHESTER, NY,CLEVELAND, OHIO, CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO Yehoshua and Kalev Rabbi Yitzchok Hecht Graduate, NCYI Rabbinic Training Program There has never been a greater deception than the tragic fraud wrought by the Miraglim (spies). They convinced the Jewish people they were unable to conquer Eretz Yisrael. Let us contemplate how difficult that must have been. The Land of Israel, which they sought to disparage, is among the greatest G-d-given gifts in the world. The nation they sought to deceive was the true “Greatest Generation” − the people who earned the title Generation of Knowledge. It was the same group that personally witnessed HaShem’s unbridled might and wrath toward Egypt, and was led by no less than Moshe Rabbeinu – the unparalleled leader who had secured their loyalty (See Ramban 16:1). In the face of these seemingly impossible odds, they desperately tried to turn the Jews away from HaShem in order to maintain their now-endangered positions as the leaders of their tribes. And, shockingly, they were successful. Their slander moved the nation to attempt murder against Moshe and Aharon (Midrash Raba) and even an astonishing effort to stone G-d Himself (Sotah 35). Only direct Divine Intervention was able to defeat them. It follows that the methodology the Miraglim used must have been of extraordinary power. And if it was effective under those circumstances, it can likely entrap us.

    Torah.org Individuality and the Torah The Judaism Site https://torah.org/torah-portion/ravfrand-5755-shlach/ INDIVIDUALITY AND THE TORAH by Rabbi Yissocher Frand These divrei Torah were adapted from the hashkafa portion of RabbiYissochar Frand's Commuter Chavrusah Torah Tapes on the weekly Torahportion: Tape #16, Mixed Seating at Weddings. Good Shabbos! Near Sightedness & Far Sightedness Characterize Beginning & End of Parsha In the beginning of this week's parsha the Torah relates the story of theMeraglim. We all know that they came back with a very poor report and as aresult of that incident Klal Yisroel spent 40 years in the Wilderness. Theend of our parsha concludes with the mitzvah of Tzitzis. If we look carefullyat the Torah's language, we may find it striking that the Torah uses almostthe exact same language in these two sections. In connection with the spiesthe instruction was given "U'Reisem es haAretz" (and you shall look at theLand) and in connection with the Tzizis it says also "U'Reisem oso" (and youshall look at the Tzitzis). I think that the Torah is trying to tell us that there is a connection betweenthe "U'Reisem oso" of parshas Tzitzis and the "U'Reisem es haAretz" of parshaMeraglim: The spies failed to learn the message of parshas Tzitzis. What is the message of parshas Tzitzis? The Gemara in Menochos (quoted by theRamba"n on this week's portion) explains the Torah's linkage between lookingat the Tzitzis and "remembering all the commandments of Hashem" (as indicatedby the verses) as follows: The Tzizis contains within it the Techeles, theblue thread.

Rabbi Y. Eiger (quoted in Itturei Torah vol. 5, p. 78) noticed that, in giving the spies their assignment, Moses had said, "Go up...into the hill country, and see what kind of country it is..." (Numbers 13:17-8). Eiger took special note of the text's mention of the hill country, and imagined Moses saying, "See the Land of Israel from the perspective of the generations, from the view of eternity, in the air of the summit, of ascent, of loftiness." From the grand perspective at the top of the mountain, with awareness of the role of this land in the history of the people of Israel and in the heart of God, they would surely see possibility, a future filled with blessing.

  • Parashat Shlach 5774 by Rabbi Wendi Geffen June 14, 2014
    Parashat Shlach 5774 By Rabbi Wendi Geffen June 14, 2014 You likely know that our ancestors wandered the wilderness for 40 years until they entered the Promised Land. You may find it surprising, though, that the ancient Israelites actually arrived at the border of the Land of Israel only two years after the Exodus. The other 38 years of wandering weren’t a long journey to the land; they were the consequence of ill-fated events that took place during Parashat Shlach. The parashah records that first arrival and the preparations to enter the land. In anticipation of moving forward, Moses directs twelve tribal leaders to scout and assess the land, its inhabitants and cities. The scouts embark, evaluate and gather fruit as “proof” of the quality of the land. They return and report on the land’s goodness—but they also warn of its heavy fortification and intimidating residents. With their reflection that the Israelites must have looked like grasshoppers in the eyes of the land’s giant inhabitants, the scouts send the entire Israelite population into fear- fueled panic. Despite the desperate pleas of Joshua and Caleb not to be deterred from their goal, the people beg to return to Egypt. Enraged by the sinfulness of the ten spies, God seals the fate of their entire faithless generation: none of them, save for Joshua and Caleb, would ever enter the Promised Land. 1 Although the Torah never defines the exact sin of the scouts, the 18 th -century Chasidic master Rabbi Yisrael ben Eliezer, the Baal Shem Tov (or BeShT), offers his own analysis.

  • Shlach L'cha: Seeing & Believing
    Shlach L'cha: Seeing & Believing More info ❯ Sh'lach L'cha contains two key ideas: the sending of the spies to Canaan and their subsequent report to the people, and the mitzvah of tzitzit, "fringes." What connection can be found in the juxtaposition of these two concepts?
