The sin of the spies shows you have to get into Heaven by faith. They did not have faith in God.

Very interesting. Thanks.

By attempting to return to Egypt…

Thankfully Hashem didn’t let them. But the Christians did return to Egypt (in a sense).

Everything that ever happened and ever will can be found in our eternal Torah!

How about Christmas trees? Glad you asked! First from the Prophets, Jeremiah 10 describes the process of setting up a living room idol. But take a look at a portion of Ya’akovs return to the Land.

Berasheit Genesis 35

35 Then G-D said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to G-D, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

2 And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to G-D, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone.”

4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.

Soooo, what do the Church father do? They left BeiT EL and went back to the tree to pick up their idols, and the rest is…well anyway.

And the moral of the story is… if you want to ascend to the House of G-D leave your idols under the tree and go up!

Oy and there’s lots more!

Shabbat Shalom

Thanks for the ping, ZC.

The Sin of the Golden Calf, although totally unacceptable, was easier to rectify. The Israelites were punished, repented and returned to G-d. The Sin of the Spies is much more difficult to eradicate and rectify. It is not a tactical sin but a rejection of the entire purpose of the Jewish Nation. It is a strategic sin – a strategic error of cosmic proportions. It is a lack of understanding of the goal of the journey, the loss of the purpose for our very existence.

And

By attempting to return to Egypt, the Israelites effectively sent the entire world into a helter-skelter tailspin. No wonder that the consequences of that ill-conceived error are still plaguing us today.

America would do well to take note.

The land of the free and home of the brave has become the land of the freebie and home of the slave.

HEIGHT

The roof of the top floor of One World Trade Center will be 1,368 feet (417 m) tall, including a 33 ft 4 in (10.16 m) parapet; this is identical to the roof height of the North Tower of the original World Trade Center.[58] The building's spire will bring One World Trade Center to a total height of 1,776 feet (541* m),[4][59] a figure symbolic of the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence.[60]

[Red] Flag Day. Say, is that like the red flag warning that the SOL waved 19 days before 911 (see post 127)? How many days to July 4th?

The symbolic cornerstone of One World Trade Center was laid in a ceremony on July 4, 2004
