12 Spies

Parashat Noach:

Stand firm – and damn the consequences!

The Jew is enjoined to follow his G-d, even into the furnace if necessary – and damn the consequences, or bless the consequences as the case may be.

What Korach and the spies had in common

Divrei Torah for reading in Diaspora (Shlach) and Israel (Korach). Both speak about men who failed to live up to expectations.
