Shabbat Shalom. This week's Torah portion Shelach, recounts a dramatic moment in Israel's history: the sin of the spies. This familiar story raises questions, like why did the spies, leaders among the children of Israel, give a bad report? Did the leaders fear that they would lose their closeness to G-d once they entered the Land?

Shmuel reveals that the answers to these questions can be found in last week's portion, next week's portion, and in the strength of one's belief. Click here to watch on YouTube.
