1. "You Shall Not Explore After Your Heart and After Your Eyes..."

   Rabbi Amnon Bazak

   What is the relationship between the mitzvah of tzitzit and the Sin of the Spies that precedes it? What links these two episodes with the previous ones – the travels of the camp, Moshe and Hovav, and the complaints about the manna? The tzitzit reminds Bnei Yisrael that they need to put their trust in God. The Sin of the Spies stemmed from a simplistic perception of reality, instead of a spiritual one. The sin might also relate to Moshe’s request of Hovav: “Please, do not leave us… you shall be our eyes.”

2. The Story of the Spies: Between Fact and Opinion

   Rabbi David Debow | 30 דקות

   In this shiur, while reading the classical commentators, we take a modern close reading of the story of the spies. Where did the spies begin to sin—when did they change the facts of their tour to a biased description with a negative slant? When did they stop being objective? Should they have been aiming for objectivity from the beginning, or for something else?

3. Erev Shabbat Shelach - Midrashim on Yehoshua's Name, the Spies, and the Symbolism of Techelet

   Rabbi Ezra Bick | 25 דקות

   This week's parasha deals with Moshe sending spies to scout out the Land of Israel. Among them is Moshe’s disciple, whose name Moshe changes from Hoshea to Yehoshua.

   The name "Yehoshua Bin Nun" is different  from every other name in that it has "Bin" instead of "Ben" to denote "son of".Why is it Yehoshua Bin Nun and not |Ben Nun?" The Chatam Sofer provides an explanation.

   We also look at some midrashim about Yehoshua's name and about the spies,  the Land of Israel and Lashon Hara.

    We then move to a midrash about tzitzit. How does the techelet  color symbolically serve as a reminder of God and the mitzvoth?

    

4. Why is Tzitzit in Parashat Shelach?

   Rabbi Shlomo Dov Rosen

5. Parshat Shelach Part 6: The Mekoshesh and Tzizit

   Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell | 25 דקות

   This is the final podcast on Parshat Shelach, continuing with the halachic section that interrupts the narrative flow between Parshiot Shelach and Korach. It discusses the story of the Mekoshesh- the one who collects wood on Shabbat – and the commandment of Tzitzit, and analyzes each section in order to understand it within the context of our Parsha.
