The Iran War and the Power of Perspective (Shlach)

In a world torn by war and fear, this week’s parsha gives us more than a historical account — it gives us a blueprint for how to see. Yehoshua and Kalev weren’t just brave; they chose a different lens. While ten spies saw defeat, they saw destiny. In this episode, we explore how the power of perspective shapes everything — from how we understand Parshat Shelach to how we respond to today’s war between Israel and Iran. Why do we cover our eyes during Shema? How do we remind ourselves that we are living through biblical times — maybe even writing the 25th book of Tanach? Listen as we reflect on what it means to see with “God Glasses” — and why, especially now, our vision determines our future. For questions, rabbiclaman@tbdj.org
