DIVREI TORAH

• Growing up means learning to live on our own--make our own decisions and choices, deal with the demands of life, find a sense of meaning for ourselves. And yet, if we have a strong web of family, friendship and community relationships, then we do not actually  live on our own. Our family, friends, and community are a part of what we choose and decide, how we meet the challenges of life and  the meaning that we find in our lives. In this sense, "growing up" means learning how to be. a part of the important relationships in our world- how to navigate and negotiate them.  Much the same may be true of our relationship to spiritual transcendence. It is in relationship with the divine that we make our important choices, find meaning in our world and meet life's challenges. [Based on reflections on Numbers 13:1]

Realize your Own Value as a Person - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin, Growth Through Torah

• “And we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” The Kotzker Rebbe said that the spies’ mistake was in the words “and so we were in their sight”; that is, it shouldn’t bother a person how others view him. One can never rest if his/her self-esteem is dependent on others’ approval. Keep your focus on doing what is right and proper and work on mastering your self-image (being ever cognizant of the fact your intrinsic value as being created in Hashem’s image) regardless of how others view you. The Chofetz Chaim said, “when you view yourself as inferior, you will assume that others also view you as inferior; but the truth could well be that the other person views you in a much higher manner”.

Not “If” But “How” - Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twersky z'l, Living Each Week

• Why was the mission of the spies in this week’s Parsha so disastrous, whereas the mission of the spies sent by Joshua was so successful? The former went to see whether the land was conquerable. Although G-d had assured them that they would receive the land, they did not have trust in Him, and they deliberated whether or not the Divine word was reliable. The latter, on the other hand, had no doubt about their ultimate triumph. Their mission was merely to determine the best method for entering the land (i.e., how to implement G-d’s will). If one questions whether or not to obey the Divine will, there will be no scarcity of reasons why not to do so. If, however, one is determined to follow G-d’s instructions and seeks only how one can best do so, one’s efforts will be blessed with success.
