Rabbi Susan Nanus: Take a Leap of Faith

In this week's Shabbat message, Rabbi Nanus talks about this week's torah portion, Parshat Shelach L’cha, and it's teaching that to give up and refuse to move forward condemns us to a barren life of unfulfillment – a life in a desert. When we are so afraid of change or taking a step into new territory, we become paralyzed, condemned to repeat the same self-defeating patterns. We have to be willing to take a leap of faith, to embrace change, and be brave enough to enter a future that offers us the possibility of fulfilling our dreams. Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
