Parshas Shlach (5766)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Hashem Himself promises absolute success in acquiring Eretz Yisroel and conquering it from the 7 nations. Yet, Klal Yisroel finds it necessary to send military spies.

This is all taking place while Hashem is sustaining them miraculously in the desert. How can we understand this; is there any rational comprehendible thought process?

Perhaps it is the human need to be “in control” or just the doings of the yetzer hara.

Hashem, the Creator of the world, our Best Friend, commits Himself and reassures us completely; attach yourself to Him, it’s your best bet.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
