This week, the weekly Torah
reading Shelach, Moses sends scouts to Canaan and all of them -- except Joshua and Caleb -- bring back frightening reports. The people react fearfully and rebelliously. God decrees a forty year delay until the Israelites will enter Canaan, during which time all males between the ages of twenty and sixty will perish. Many Israelites then attempt to unilaterally proceed to Canaan, but are cut down by the Canaanites. Various laws are discussed: libations, giving
part of the dough ("challah") to a Kohain (Priest), certain sin sacrifices, and the mitzvah of tzitzit. A Jew is found desecrating the Shabbat and is executed.
Root Source Interviews brings you a multi-part series from Avi Lipkin on the topic of Trump’s recent visit to Israel. Avi talks about Trump’s relationship to Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas and warns Trump against pressuring Israel to divide the land for peace, and says what he thinks will happen if he does. He also explains a scenario in which Trump might actually move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

Weekly Portion: Shelach – June 17 – 23 Sivan |
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Shelach Numbers 13:1–15:41, Moses sends twelve spies to the land of Canaan. Forty days later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes, a pomegranate and a fig, to report on a lush and bountiful land. But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants
of the land are giants and warriors “more powerful than we”; only Caleb and Joshua insist that the land can be conquered, as God has commanded.
In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Joshua 2:1 – 2:24, tells the story of the spies that Joshua sent to scout the city of Jericho, prior to the Israelites’ invasion of the Holy Land, a point in common with this week’s Torah reading, which discusses the twelve spies that were sent by
Moses years earlier to explore the Holy Land.
Happy studying!
