parashah Shelach 2

The final portion of the sedra is the third passage of the Sh'ma - the portion of Tzitzit. It contains the mitzva to put Tzitzit on the corners of a four-corner garment [386] and that one of the strings of each corner should be dyed t'cheilet, the special blue dye.

parashah Shelach

 G-d tells Moshe to send scouts to "spy out" the Land. The emphasis in the wording of the pasuk is on Moshe being the one sending the Meraglim, not at G-d's command nor by his "desire".
The Meraglim map: as every year for parashah Shelach we do a map of Israel. This year we used coloured rice (you can use acrilic paint)
Moshe gives the scouts instructions and an itinerary, hoping that they will return with an encouraging report for Bnei Yisrael. It was the time of the ripening of the grapes...
So then we add the clay made fruits
