The word Shelach is interpreted to mean 'send forth’ G-d allowed Moshe to send out men to spy out the Land of Israel.  These men were to bring back a report about realities in the Land of Israel.  The Torah states, "They returned from spying out the Land at the end of the forty days.  They went and came to Moshe and Aaron and to the entire assembly of the Children of Israel...” the Sages comment on "They went and came" with, 'just as their returning was with evil council so was their going with evil council'.  These spies brought back a report to the people that the Land of Israel was impossible to conquer.  They brought back a report of fear.  These were the same people that witnessed the exodus from Egypt and the splitting of the sea and the giving of the Torah.  Yet, they had fear of leaving the 'comfort' of the desert.  It is in this context that we understand the wor

Demographics and acceptance in the UN was discussed.  The USA State Department issued a report to President Harry Truman not to recognize the State of Israel.  But David Ben Gurion was determined and he proclaimed Independence for the State of Israel.  Shortly afterwards, Israel was attacked on all sides and within.  Thousands of Arabs within Israel fled to Arab Countries, waiting and praying for the destruction of the State of Israel.  However, the Arabs lost the war and the State of Israel won respect and solved much of the demographic threat.

> Today, many of our 'leaders' repeat the same fears of yesteryear.  Our ‘leaders’ perceive a contradiction between a Democratic State and a Jewish State.  That is why the Jewish People's Policy Planning Committee warns of a demographic threat and pushes for Jerusalem to be an International City.  The issue of demography is important.  The truth is that the Arab birth rate in Israel and the territories is in sharp decline.  Also the Jewish fertility rates are on the rise.  It is the most assimilated of our People that have a very low birth rate if any at all.  For a good review of the true demographic trends in Israel, it is vital to read the facts as presented in The Ettinger Report It is in this report that you will read how the State of Israel has defeated the demographic demon and that only a retreat from Land and the establishment of a Terror State will encourage Arab Immigration which will again pose a demographic threat.

Many leaders are chosen because of their financial standing and not because of their commitment to Israel or the Jewish People.  True Jewish Leadership must preach strong Jewish family values, commitment to the Jewish Way of Life and a Strong State of Israel.

> This weeks Parsha is Bamidbar.  The English translation for the word 'Bamidbar' is desert or wilderness.  It was in the wilderness that the Jewish People traveled until it was time for them to enter the Land of Israel.  Many have translated the word 'Bamidbar' to mean 'Numbers'.  And the reason for this is because a census was taken of the Jewish People at that time.

> Further in the Parsha we read, "The Levites according to their fathers tribe were not counted among them."   And Rashi explains, 'they were counted separately in deference to their higher status.  Alternatively, G-d knew that all those included in the general census would die in the wilderness, but He wanted to exclude the Levites from this fate because of their loyalty and courage in the incident of the Golden Calf.'

> It is sixty years since the establishment of the State of Israel.  In 1948, there were 600,000 Jews in Israel.  Today, there are close to six million Jews living in Israel.   Israel is home to the largest concentration of Jews in the world today.  In a few years, Israel will be the home of the majority of Jews in the world.  The reasons for this fact are as follows:  In the Diaspora, there is negative growth and very high assimilation.  In Israel, there is strong positive growth and a strong Jewish identity.  The idea of Israel being the home to a majority of Jews in the world has special significance and implications in Jewish Law (Halacha).  The only previous time when a majority of Jews in the world lived in Israel was during the First Temple.  A minority of Jews in the World lived in Israel during the Second Temple.  Many Laws that pertain to Jerusalem and the Temple will have to be honoured.  The geopolitical implications of this miracle taking place in our days will be realized.

They marry in their early twenties and have many children.  This is one of the key defences that the State of Israel has against the Arab demographics in Israel.
