Torah Portion Synopsis: Shelach - Numbers 13:1–15:41
Moses sends twelve spies to the land of Canaan. Forty days later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes, a pomegranate and a fig, to report on a lush and bountiful land. But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants of the land are giants and warriors “more powerful than we”; only Caleb and Joshua insist that the land can be conquered, as G‑d has commanded.
The people weep that they’d rather return to Egypt. G‑d decrees that Israel’s entry into the Land shall be delayed forty years, during which time that entire generation will die out in the desert. A group of remorseful Jews storm the mountain on the border of the Land, and are routed by the Amalekites and Canaanites.
The laws of the Nesachim (meal, wine and oil offerings) are given, as well as the mitzvah to consecrate a portion of the dough (challah) to G‑d when making bread. G‑d instructs to place fringes (tzitzit) on the four corners of our garments, so that we should remember to fulfill the mitzvot (divine commandments).
A short sermon:
This week we read about the spies: They begin by praising the Land of Canaan (Israel) but then claim that the people of Israel can't possibly succeed in inheriting it. Sometimes we make an endeavor so big and wonderful in our eyes we assume we can't possibly accomplish it - "it's too big and I'm too small"
To this the two righteous spies -Joshua and Caleb responded "Alo Na'aleh" "We shall go up". When we resolve that we can rise to a new challenge to do more with our Judaism - We should believe that if the idea came to us, we can do it! It is big but G-d who gives us power is even bigger.
