Get StartedJUNE 21, 2022 - Shelach: The Spies and Echoes From the Past (Part 76 of 86)
Into The Verse
In Parshat Shelach, we read the story of the spies who ventured to the land of Israel and brought back a false report to the Israelites. Have you ever noticed that their report is strikingly similar to another story from earlier in the Torah? Think about it: a group of twelve men, ten of whom committed a terrible sin and two of whom were innocent... sound familiar? Join Beth Lesch and Rivky Stern as they explore the echoes that resound in the story of the spies.
Looking for the Tisha b'Av course that Imu mentions at the end, in which he and Rabbi Fohrman further explore these parallels? Check it out here.
Curious to learn more about the "Vayeishev" theory that Beth and Rivky mention? Check out Rabbi Fohrman's course here.
