The Meraglim Told the Truth, So What Was Their Sin?

Rav Kalatsky examines one of the most difficult questions in Parshas Shlach: how could the leaders of Klal Yisrael make such a devastating mistake? Drawing on the teachings of the Sforno and Ohr HaChaim, he explains how two groups of people can witness the exact same reality and arrive at completely different conclusions. The shiur explores the role of bitachon in shaping perception, why Yehoshua and Kalev saw what the other spies could not, and how the inability to internalize spiritual truths can have far-reaching consequences.
