Defense Minister of Chelm

A Letter to the Israeli Defense Minister:

Something is terribly amiss in the Israeli Defense Department, audaciously so. The era of costumes and stunts is over for creative warfare. The enemy is simple and deadly. Know your enemy! Is this an example of how you are to protect Jews from their enemies? Was this 'smart' tactical maneuver created in Chelm?

This week's Parsha is the episode of the Spies, Parshat Shlach. What is this all about? It's about aleph, bet, gimmel!

אֱ ב ג

אֱמונה - the fraility of Jewish Emuna (faith in the mission)
בטחון - the lack of Jewish trust (trust in Moses their leader)
גאולה - Emuna & Bitachon will ultimately bring Am Yisrael to the Geula (their purpose of living)

The Spies did not complete their mission,
they lost trust in their leader,
and they failed the Jewish nation:
the purpose is not to escape the realities,
but to confront and engage your enemy.

למשל

The Wise Men of Chelm:
The wise men of Chelm had a debate about the Sun and the Moon as to who was superior. After much debate, the wise men of Chelm decided that the Moon was superior, because it shone in the dark of night, while the Sun only shines in the daytime, when it is already light!

When Am Yisrael learns the wisdom of the Torah, given to Am Yisrael through Moses, their true Leader, can the Jews bring the Geulah


The Torah is the central nervous system of spirituality
Ha Kol Kol Yaakov
But to the destroyer of Houses of Learning and Prayer ...
the decree of the Spies
