Shelach – Founding Grandfathers

The twelve men who Moshe sent to scout the Land were all righteous leaders of the tribes. There were not lightweights. In fact, Joshua, who would succeed Moshe as the leader of the people, was only the 5th greatest of this cadre. Yet ten of these men conspired to provide a deflating and slanderous report about the Land. What was their rationale? What did Joshua and Caleb understand that these ten failed to understand? In this very interesting Parsha podcast, we propose a fascinating explication of what was required to see through the fiction of the spies. We learn the secret that catapulted Joshua and Caleb to unprecedented heights.
