Overview

The Jews journey from Mount Sinai to the Holy Land was filled with promise, but also fraught with hurdles. How would they deal with the threat of hostile nations, the tremors of internecine divisions, the challenge of forging a relationship with God once the unique conditions of Sinai were left behind? Plumbing the depths of Jewish sources, Rabbi Ari Kahn provides fascinating answers to age-old questions, infusing the parashah with fresh significance. Through provoking questions and intriguing insights, Rabbi Kahn continually inspires us to seek the Godly. Spies, Subversives and Other Scoundrels is the fourth in a five-volume work on the weekly Torah portion, published jointly by Gefen Publishing House and the OU.
