Parshat Shelach Lecha
Among the questions about the land of Canaan that Moshe commanded the twelve spies to investigate was "does it have trees or not?" and then added "you should take from the fruit of the land." Rashi cites a midrash explaining that this question was not literally about trees, but rather whether there were upright people in the land whose merit might protect the inhabitants. The Satmar Rav (quoted in Talelei Orot) asks a question on the Midrash: How were the spies to determine if there were upright individuals in the land? We all know that there are plenty of phonies around and sometimes the person with the most pious exterior is disguising a rotten core. He explains that "you should take from the fruit of the land" was Moshe's advice on how to investigate the true character of the Canaanites. Look at their "fruit," their children and their students. A person can easily fool the casual observer, but children and students are acutely sensitive to hypocrisy. If there were truly upright and righteous people among the Canaanites, the spies would find upright and righteous children and students; but if there was no proper "fruit" to be found, then the "trees" were absent as well. May we merit to have the sincerity and integrity to be "trees" that produce the proper fruit! This same concept is the biggest obstacle to peace in Israel. If the children of the Arabs/Palestinians are taught hate for Israel and the Jewish people from the age of entering school, then that fruit of the land is singed and will not be a viable partner for peace.

Summary of Parshat Shelach Lecha
By, Rabbi Doug Zelden
Numbers 13:1 Page 623 in the Hertz Chumash
1st Aliya: Moshe sends 12 Meraglim on a mission to spy out the land of Canaan. Pg. 623 Ch.13:1
2nd Aliya: The Spies return carrying the massive fruits of the land. Ten of the twelve spies deliver their negative report and the nation looses its faith in G-d and Moshe. Pg. 624 Ch.13:21
3rd Aliya: Moshe successfully argues for the life of the
nation, and Hashem issues the 40 year decree of wandering and
that all males above 20 years old will not live to enter the promised land. Pg. 626 Ch.14:8
4th Aliya: The Ten Spies die, and the nation is informed of their own punishment. Pg. 628 Ch.14:26
5th Aliya: The laws of the Korban Mincha – the meal offering, are stated in this Aliya. Pg. 631 Ch.15:8
6th Aliya: The laws of separating Challah - the dough offering, and the communal Chatas - sin offering are stated. Pg. 631 Ch.15:17
7th Aliya: The individual Chatas - sin offering; and the incident with the man who transgressed Shabbos by
gathering sticks; his punishment; and the Mitzvah of Tzitzis, conclude the Parsha. Pg. 632 Ch.15:27
Maftir Aliya: We repeat the last five verses of the Parsha, which is the last
section of Kriyas Shma, and the Mitzvah of Tzitzis.
This is said in every
Shacharit and Maariv service. Pg. 632 Ch.15:37
Haftorah Shlach Joshua 2:1 Hertz Chumash - pg.635
This week's Haftorah relates the story of Yehoshua sending Kalev
and Pinchas to spy out Jericho, their encounter with Rachav, and their report
confirming the fear of Yericho's inhabitants. The connection to our Parsha is
obvious, however the outcome of this "second mission" was far
different than the first one 38 years earlier.
