00:00:02.366 --> 00:00:04.671
If you close your eyes, you can imagine it.

00:00:04.671 --> 00:00:20.984
You can go back in time and get a feeling of the emotion in the Israelite camp as Clalius Srails most robust and holy champions of the Torah are preparing themselves for a journey of a lifetime.

00:00:20.984 --> 00:00:28.823
The twelve Miraglum, the twelve spies, the Ramban tells us, are listed in our parasha, based on their greatness.

00:00:28.823 --> 00:00:29.986
They're godless.

00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:35.064
These are our best players, shalach, lecho, anoshim.

00:00:35.064 --> 00:00:52.191
You can feel in the camp how, extending, our best guys, our greatest rabbis, perhaps the children and the mothers, are waving goodbye to our saintly soldiers, our anoshim, these spies, packing their gamutas, some water and some food.

00:00:52.191 --> 00:00:59.692
Again, they then wave farewell and step on towards their mission.

00:00:59.692 --> 00:01:04.510
Immediately, you can imagine Yahushua and Kalev are feeling something is going to ride.

00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:06.487
There's something not quite right.

00:01:06.487 --> 00:01:10.504
The Pasek tells us, vayava Yad Khevron, that Kalev had slipped away.

00:01:10.504 --> 00:01:12.543
He understood what was happening.

00:01:12.543 --> 00:01:16.290
He ran to Marasamach Pelo, to Davenakiv Raitzadikim.

00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:22.805
Something wasn't right and he prayed his face off until it turned black, as Al-Telah was to save him.

00:01:22.805 --> 00:01:29.283
Please save me, almighty, from the atzastrishayim, from the evil and wicked and deceitful council of these miraglum.

00:01:29.283 --> 00:01:31.260
And why, why?

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:32.284
what was he praying for?

00:01:32.284 --> 00:01:36.771
Why did Yahushua need a Yud to be added to his name to be saved from them.

00:01:36.771 --> 00:01:38.243
What was so perilous?

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:52.625
It's clear that the Koyach of the Khevron Ruh, his friends, a bad group, is remarkably and astonishingly powerful Powerful in the negative.

00:01:52.625 --> 00:01:57.129
It sounds like this minion of people with ill, with cruel intentions.

00:01:57.129 --> 00:01:58.944
It wouldn't have been enough.

00:01:58.944 --> 00:02:03.359
Kalev could not rest and rely upon his own internal drive.

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.550
He needed to run to Khev Raitzadikim to be saved from evil friends.

00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:12.307
Yahushua need new letters to be added to his name.

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.929
It's something that's not fun to talk about, but perhaps not talked about enough.

00:02:16.929 --> 00:02:32.528
Everybody's good and everyone's nice, but I once actually heard a piece of Kha'kha'ana as proven true in my life That you're always going to be the middle of your five best friends, in their fear, in heaven, in their money making, in their popularity.

00:02:32.528 --> 00:02:37.526
You're always in the middle because we always kind of hang out with the people a little bit above, a little below, to feel comfortable.

00:02:37.526 --> 00:02:48.799
But the group that you are with is astonishingly powerful, and Rabbi Rukham tells us that he can't even believe that as he's gotten older.

00:02:48.799 --> 00:02:55.972
How many people have been swept astray from the path of Torah because of evil friends?

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.270
How rare is it to get a mission that tells us Harchek me, shokhenra.

00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:04.867
You cannot not have bad friends, bad neighbors, but distance.

00:03:04.867 --> 00:03:08.046
The same way, you're Harchek, midvarsheker, tearchak.

00:03:08.046 --> 00:03:09.723
You run away from these things.

00:03:09.723 --> 00:03:24.790
Everybody is nice, everybody is kind and everybody means well, but you should take note that things that are pulling you down perhaps Moyshav leitsim, and things that are not, and people that do not have your best, your best outcome in mind.

00:03:24.790 --> 00:03:40.320
Choose to hang out with better individuals, choose to find a good friend and perhaps let's look upon this in the good side And the bright side of the moon and go get yourself real friends, a group of people that will push you to become that much better and closer to the only.
