"Shlach Lecha (Anashim)"

Translation: Send "for yourself" men, Hashem tells Moshe Rabeinu. The land of Israel was meant for the Jews, Hashem promised it to our ancesters Avrum, Yitzchok, and Yaakov. Now it was time for the Jews to enter Eretz Yisroel as Hashem had promised. However, rather than trusting in G-D, the Jews began to doubt him. Despite G-D's promise to the Jews that he would give them Eretz Yisroel, and that the land will yield an abudance amount of fruit, grains, and natural resources, some there and some hidden, the Jews wanted spies to check out the land for them and report back the results. By doing so, they displayed a lack of faith in G-D. They feared that upon hearing the Jews would populate the land of Israel, the gentiles would hide all their valuable assets underground so that they would not find them. The Jews therefore approached Moshe Rabainu about sending spies to report back on the condition and hidden treasures of the holy land. Upon hearing the Jews argument, Moshe Rabainu thought they had a valid point. He went to Hashem and asked him what he thought about sending men of importance to spy on the land of Israel. G-D responded that it is a display of lack of faith by the Jews, and that it was not the first time the Jews didn't have faith in him. This made G-D very angry. However, G-D allowed Moshe Rabeinu to choose 1 man from each tribe to scout the land so that the Jews would not think Hashem was not keeping his promise to them.

Why did G-D want 1 man from every tribe? so that when they report back positivley or negatively on the land, they will be judged and punished or rewarded accordingly. As we know, most of the 12 spies reported back negative things about Eretz Yisroel. Only Kalev ben Yefune and Yeoshua Bin Nun reported back positively about the land of Israel. The torah uses the word "Anashim" which is indicative of people of stature and importance. These spies that Moshe Rabeinu selected with permission from G-D, were very respectable people. They were wise, had leadership skills, and were non-currupted. That's how these men were when they left on their journey. When they returned however, they came back different. They were now men of curruption and evil. They were overtaken by their power and pride and became men of falshood and dishonor.

Power can currpt a person to the negative extreme. We saw it by the Meraglim, and we are seeing it today in our surroundings and the world we live in. The current bleak situation of child abuse, both sexual and physical has grown rampant in our yeshiva's today. Were it not for the power of the Internet, some of this abuse may well still be taking place. We are fortounate to have this venue so as not to allow the Margulies's of the world to cover up the abuse by keeping the perp (RUBbe Kolko) around so he can continue to molest for 4 decades, and by running a campaign of corruption and intimidation against victims and their parents.

Lippy boy, may have once upon a time garnished the Kovod of some people, before he became ruthless with his corruption and lies. Now, this 80 something year old is in shambles. He has a lot of answering to do up there. Lippy boy, should do what he should have done a while ago if he wants to save any face, and that's firing himself from running TT.
