The Torah reading is from Numbers 14:8-15;7, “Shelach Lecha,” which follows the devastating behavior of the Israelites upon hearing the report that the Promised Land is filled with giants and that they have no chance of defeating the tribes of Canaan. Moses once again must intervene and plead with HaShem to not destroy the people for their lack of faith. Once again, HaShem relents and does not destroy them but forces the people to wander for another 38 years (40 in all). In order for the Israelites to enter the Land of Milk and Honey, an entire generation will have died and a new generation, one “born in the wilderness,” will be led by Caleb and Joshua into the Promised Land. Rabbi Galit Shirah conducts a weekday Ma’ariv service every Thursday for Sim Shalom, the online synagogue. Sim Shalom presents livestream services Monday-Thursday, with a different rabbi each day.
