Niki and Susan and Barry Bayer (in honor of the Bayers’ wedding anniversary) will host a light lunch. Sort of Bagels without the Bible.
The Parsha is Numbers 13:1?15:41. Moses sends out spies to report on the land of Canaan, which G-d has given to them. Everyone agrees it is good land, but 10 say it would be impossible to conquer as giants who live there would have to be overcome. The 10 start a mini-rebellion suggesting that the Jews turn around and return to Egypt. They die The two spies who weren’t overwhelmed by the difficulty lived.
The Parsha finishes with a discussion of laws concerning offerings, the story of a wood gatherer who breaks the Sabbath and is stoned for it, and instructions that the children of ISrael should make fringes on the border of their garments
The Haftarah is Joshua 2:1 - 24
