SPIRITUALITY IS NOT AN EXCUSE

from Deeper Look At The Parsha · host Rabbi Pini Dunner

Haredi opponents of military service argue that army life threatens the spiritual refinement of Torah students. But the spies in Parshat Shlach made the same mistake: treating withdrawal from the world as the only way forward. Their story teaches that when Jewish survival requires responsibility and sacrifice, spirituality cannot become an excuse for leaving the danger to other Jews who must fight instead.
