Shlach - Keeping Our Faith | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

hi welcome to the paraa in five we're in five minutes we try to give you a little idea that will hopefully help you gain a deeper understanding into the parha a little something to share with the family and uh and in around five minutes it's hard to get it exactly but we do the best that we can why can I tell you I'm only human remember I said that once to rev Bulman I said Reby what do you want from me I'm just a push of the H and he says who do you think you are to call yourself a p do you know what a is um the story of the morlum is of course a tragic story and I want to point out what is the most tragic part of this story most tragic part of the story is that after they come back and they bring the de and they say terrible things about they're not done they walk around to every house and Shake's hand and wishes them goodbye well tomorrow we're all going to be killed nice knowing you Charlie and the Jewish people cried they had a they had a bad night they were really upset and they all cried and then mosha says to them well because you cried you're not going to going to go into ter shell you're all going to die in the desert your children will go and that's the end thanks for playing we have some lovely consolation prize 40 Years of mun yeah but you're not going anywhere they get up the next morning and they get dressed and they put on their armor and they take their weapons and they say okay let's go toel mosha says I'm sorry which part of this are you not getting I told you already that you lost that opportunity yeah but we're very sorry we said we're sorry come on you know that that thing about God forgiving us you know I think it was the philosophic goth on his deathbed as his wife was crying he said don't worry God will forgive me that's what he does so he's like okay so I had a bad night you know I got a little shaken up you to admit that these people were all sadim and Torah and and they told us we're all going to die okay so I had a bad night and hasem said no this is a onw punch this is just a follow through of the agel of zahov the golden calf that same lack of faith and trust and you're not going to go in and there were some people who said no no we're going to go anyway and they go up to fight and they get killed and they come back and they cry and Hashem says I'm sorry that was Tish that's maybe the saddest part of Tish is the fact that you know we have this idea that I said I'm sorry what else do you want from me sometimes it's just not enough sometimes there are real life consequences to our actions and we have to suffer those consequences and uh um it's a little bit sad and if we walk away with one idea from parl it should definitely be we have to keep our faith when things are going bad and things get tough there's a story where Rak went to the brisar and he says I don't understand what what's so hard about having a Muna anybody with half a brain can figure out that there's a God and he gave the Torah the evidence is overwhelming yeah the evidence for atheist m is very very poor very little I would say non-existent if if you want to be honest about it but people are people are have difficulty being honest about this so uh nobody wants to really you know come out and and and admit it you know uh I forgot which great scientist said we basically invented Evolution so that you know we'd have an excuse to say that God didn't uh create the world but um uh so he says whatat kind of what kind of Faith does it take and the brisar says you're right auna starts when it doesn't make sense when things are not so Pat when people of your of your of your generation of your shavid come back and say to you we can't do it we're all going to die yeah but but Moshe said we can yeah mosha Will Survive but not you you're not going to make it and shook them to the their core that was the agel they thought mosha was dead and they wouldn't be able to face a on their own and they needed to build something to act as an intermediary because they did not have that trust and faith in hasm we are a generation that is oftimes pressed and we see difficult things and we need to stay strong chice
