Parshas Shlach (5771)
By Mordechai Dolinsky
The Torah demands of us that we constantly be connected to and under the realization of Hashem.
The land of Canaan had certain negative aspects which the spies connected to however when connected with Hashem everything changes; everything is clear; everything is safe; everything is beautiful.
The climax of the sedra is the mitzvah of tzitzis. The tzitzis is on our clothing, very close, very real. The four corners, kanfos, Rashi informs us are to inspire us to appreciate and be inspired about the wings of the eagles, the kanfei nesharim on which we flew. On our materialistic clothing we are inspired for the deepest connection with the world of ruchnius and Hashem. This is what is demanded of us to be simple members of Klal Yisroel.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
