this week's Prussia is partial talks
about the episode where Hashem tells
Moshe that he could send spies to spy
out the land of Israel and we understand
what happened when we know the story
they came back with a evil report a bad
report and all of the tragedies that
happened after that
the Torah that we that that we learned
has to be very practical and a rabbis
say that in every
word in the Torah every sentence you
could learn something for your life
where you are at every stage of your
life now and there's something very very
practical I feel that we can learn from
this parashat many practical things but
I want to focus on one that I heard from
Rabbi Dr Abraham toursky who is a
well-known psychiatrist he's no longer
alive but he was very famous
psychiatrist Rabbi and he wrote over 80
books on a very successful person who
helped a lot of people
so he says in the story of these spies
you see something very great regarding
self-esteem
he says if you look at the versus the
sukim it says that the spies said
that they were in Israel and there were
giants in Israel and the spies said that
we
felt
like we're grasshoppers
um next to the Giants we felt they were
Grasshoppers and they said something
else not only do we feel like we're
grasshoppers like we're nothing next to
those giants
that's how they viewed us
so very interesting we feel like we're
Grasshoppers and that's how they viewed
and that's how they viewed us
so the midrash the oral tour explains
that Hashem answered them and he says I
forgive you for saying that you felt
like grasshoppers compared to them they
were giants but I don't forgive you
for saying that that's how they looked
at you that that's how they viewed you
that they viewed you as grasshoppers how
do you know maybe they view you as
angels
so remember torsky says an unbelievable
thing from here he says that usually
we feel and we think that people view us
the way we think of ourselves
and if we think of ourselves low that's
how we feel that people are looking at
us
so he says that
we have to understand that Hashem views
us
as angels and we're even greater than
Angels we're the reason the whole
universe is in existence we're the
reason there are angels He we human
beings we here in this Earth are the
most important thing in the world in the
universe and in the spiritual worlds
Hashem created us and we control
everything we have the power from us
from our decisions from our potential to
be able to do great things in this world
and in the spiritual world
says how important it is to have a good
self-image and to know how great you are
and to to know how value how valuable
you are and how precious you are and how
Hashem views you and we have to view
ourselves this way and when view when we
view ourselves this way it's going to
help us to understand that other people
view ourselves also that we're we're
high and we're great
so I wanted to to give everyone a an
Abraham that we should be able to view
ourselves as great and we should know
that we're great and we should
understand that Hashem views us as as
unbelievable Hashem views this as the
whole Hashem views this as greater than
angels and Hashem says I created
everything for you so we should have
that warmth and that and that feeling of
self-worth that Hashem believes in US
knows we're great and knows we can do
great
shabbat shalom
