Shelach Lecha

This week's parsha is Shelach Lecha. Shelach Lecha tells the story of the twelve spies who went to spy out the land and to give a report back to Moshe and the people. Ten spies gave negative reports and two spies, Joshua and Calev, gave positive reports.

Joshua and Calev swam against the tide of popular Israelite opinion. They gave a report that was different from everyone else's. In the face of opposition, is it difficult to express your views if they are different from everyone else's? Have you ever been in a situation where your opinion was different or unpopular? Describe what happened. Were you able to state your feelings? Did you change your views? Did other people change theirs?
