in this week's Torah portion...12 spies were all sent
to scout the land of Canaan
one from every tribe.
They came back with grapes,
reports of milk and honey,
and fear of giants.
Caleb calmed them down
"we can do it!" he told them
Josh stood by him too.
It was lack of faith
in God's promise of the Land
and they paid the price:
As a punishment
they would not enter the Land
except Josh and Cay (leb)...
And so they wandered
forty years in wilderness
until....Israel.
Shabbat Shalom!
