a Sabbath of Spies?

 

?a Sabbath of Spies

This Torah portion says Moses re-named Joshua

G-d re-named Sarah and Abraham so they could have Jewish Children

Was Moses trying to be like G-d?
NO - he was LEARNING from G-d - and IT HELPED -

and Joshua said NOTHING BAD after spying out Israel

but WHAT WAS HE SENT TO SEE THERE?

10 leaders did NOT HAVE THE EYES or the HEART to Understand the

LAND OF ISRAEL -

THEY DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE SENT THERE TO understand
THAT G-D LOVES THE PEOPLE AND THE LAND OF ISRAEL
(AND THE TORAH OF ISRAEL)

so they (10) criticized it -

and caused a tragedy -

so IF YOU DON't have forgiving and understanding eyes and heart -

LEARN FROM G-d and

as the Rebbi Shlomo Carlebach used to always say

OPEN YOUR HEARTS (in order to really see the truth)

Love and Shabbos from Tel Aviv
