week so get pumped!!!! Otherwise, rest up well, enjoy the long weekend, hope your fast

All of you approached me and said, "Let us send men ahead of us and let them spy out the land"

Moses starts his words of rebuke to the nation by reminding them of their sins and rebellions. One of the
events he mentioned was the incident of the spies. The Jews believed their slanderous report concerning
the land of Israel and did not believe Yehoshua and Calev who reported that the land was in fact a very
good place.

It is difficult to understand this because Yehoshua and Calev were outnumbered ten to two. Why were the
Jewish People reprimanded for not listening to Yehoshua and Calev - mustn't one follow the majority?

Although Yehoshua and Calev were outnumbered, logic would suggest that their report had a much
stronger basis than the report from the other 10. The 10 spies said that they should not enter the land,
but no one would ever know if they were telling the truth. However, Yehoshua and Calev said that the
people should enter the land, and they knew that when the Jews would enter they would see if Yehoshua
and Calev had been telling the truth or not.

The sin of believing the slanderous report of the 10 spies was that the people did not use their intellect.
They should have taken a step back and pondered the situation, and then they would have realized the
real truth.

The gravest sin a person can be guilty of is to abandon the gift of intellect that God gave him. God instilled
every human being with intelligence and understanding with which he is capable of grasping divine
wisdom. It is our intellect that puts us above the animal kingdom and gives us the ability to reach
tremendous heights.

The greatest leader we ever had was Moshe. And what is fascinating

is the title he is given. Moshe was a liberator, a law-giver, a military
commander and a prophet. But we call him none of these things.
Instead we call him Moshe Rabbeinu, 'Moshe our teacher', because
that, for us, is the highest honour.

Teachers open our eyes to the world. They give us curiosity and
confidence. They teach us to ask questions. They connect us to our
past and future. We have lots of heroes today, and they are often
celebrities – athletes, supermodels, media personalities. They come,
they have their fifteen minutes of fame, and they go. But the influence
of good teachers stays with us. They are the people who really shape
our life.

In Bnei Akiva, we have teachers involved in our daily live. Our
Madrichim, in many ways, are our teachers. Teaching us, guiding us,
showing us the way and connecting us to something bigger than
ourselves. Your madrichim, just like mine, are true heroes who are
there to care for us and shape us into the best people we can be.

Shabbat shaboogy and keep your eyes open for some big things this

1. On what date and in which year did Moses begin delivering his speech to the
people?
2. Where did he make this speech?
3. Moses describes how heavy the burden of leading the Israelites was for him,
and how he divided up the decision making. How is his description different from
what we were told when it happened in the Book of Exodus?
4. How is Moses’ description of the spies’ report different from the report as
described in the Book of Numbers?
5. There were certain tribes of peoples that the Israelites were told not to fight.
One was the people who lived in Seir. Why were the Israelites not permitted to
take their land?
6. What was a second tribe the Israelites were ordered not to attack, and why?
7. The Israelites completely conquered two peoples and killed their kings. Who
were they?
8. There are two mitzvot in Parashat Dvarim. Both are negative precepts. What
are they?

1. Moses began his speech on the first day of the 11th month, during the 40th year after the Israelites left
Egypt.
2. He made this speech beyond the Jordan in the Aravah.
3. In Deuteronomy, Moses says the burden was too much for him and so he decided to divide the judgment
with judges responsible for 1000’s, 100’s, etc. In Exodus, Yitro suggested this to Moses, and Moses accepted
the idea.
4. In Deuteronomy, Moses says the spies came back and said: “Good is the land which the Lord, our God,
gives to us.” In Numbers, when the spies came back, most of them said the cities were too fortified and the
people too strong to be defeated.
5. This land had been given to Esau and his descendants by God and he was the Israelites’ brother.
6. The people of Moab because this land was given to Lot and his descendants.
7. The people completely destroyed Sihon, king of Amorites, living in Heshbon and Og, king of Bashan,
living in Ashtaroth.
8. Not to appoint any judge who is unlearned in the Torah, even if he is generally learned; and that a judge
presiding at a trial should not fear any evil man (really any man).
