Description
Why did Hashem cause the leaders throughout the land of Canaan to die as the Israelite spies passed through their land? What was at the root of the spies denial of the Hashgacha Pratis (Divine Providence) of these deaths which was really to create a distraction from their presence? Why did the Jewish people step back from Mount Sinai when Hashem revealed Himself to them, and ask for Moshe to be between them and Hashem instead the direct revelation? Why did the Jewish people look suspiciously at the fact that there was no physical waste when they ate from the Manna in the wilderness? How can we face the higher levels of spirituality Hashem wants to bring to us without turning away in fear? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.
