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
