Shelach

We often mix compliments with criticisms and wonder why the listener is offended.

We often get stuck with the familiar, afraid to make necessary changes outside our comfort zone.

The Torah was never intended for angels, or humans with no physical concerns.

What could possibly be so important about separating a piece of dough that the Midrash states that it is the purpose of creation?

What were the calculations of ten of the spies that caused them to err so profoundly? And what did the women of Israel intuitively understand that these great “men of distinction” failed to comprehend?

We all have free choice. We could either ignore these people, these opportunities, these events, or we could see everything in our life as a G-d-sent opportunity.
