Collections: Understanding the Sin of the Meraglim

Description

This class explores the mitzvah of Hafrashat Challah, uncovering its placement after the sin of the Meraglim. Drawing on Ramban, Rav Soloveitchik, the Belzer Rebbe, and Maharal, it teaches how Torah expects human effort alongside divine dependence—and how holiness is created by elevating the physical through intentional action.
