Shelach – Daydreams, Nightmares, and Reveries

The Parsha Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe

The final five verses of our Parsha contain the third paragraph of the Shema. In it, we are instructed to place tzitzis strings wrapped with a string of blue techeiles wool on the corner of our garments. Why? “And you shall see them and remember all the mitzvos of Hashem and you shall do them, and you will not deviate after your hearts and eyes.” By gazing at the tzitzis we will do al the mitzvos and avoid sinning. That is a very bold claim. How does looking at the tzitzis remind us of all the mitzvos of God and inspire us to do them? How does it save us from sinning? Why is this particular mitzvah featured as a the culmination of the parsha that deals primarily with the ill-fated reconnaissance mission of the 12 spies sent by Moshe to reconnoiter the Land? In this sweeping and creative podcast we share some secrets that will radically rearrange your worldview. This is not the easiest podcast to follow, absorb, and digest, but it may be the most beneficial one that you’ve listened to yet.
