1. The Wanderings of Bnei Yisrael in the Desert

   Rabbi Yaakov Medan

   A review of various biblical sources indicates that the wanderings of Bnei Yisrael in the wilderness had additional significance, aside from the need to circumvent the land of the Pelishtim and the punishment decreed on the nation as result of the sin of the spies. These sources mainly point to the wilderness as a place with no means of subsistence. It is there that Bnei Yisrael learn that it is God Who feeds and sustains them. This lesson discusses the wandering in the desert as depicted in the prophecy of Amos, who describes the trek entirely from a social perspective, in terms of justice and righteousness.

2. What?!

   Rabbi Ezra Bick

   The manna symbolizes emunah and faith in God; this essential connection is mirrored in the link between the manna and Shabbat. The quail signifies something different, and the distinction between the manna and the quail is the key to understanding the parasha.
