Shlach
The Torah Narrative Redux:
In the Times of the Prophets
From the Haftorah Series

A double feature of spy stories make up Parshas Shelach and its Haftorah, but while the Parshah began from weakness of will and ended in tragedy, the Haftorah records a successful mission. Rabbi Wein's exciting retelling of the spies' encounter with Rachav, a prostitute who redeems herself by her righteous actions, brings out all the drama of physical and spiritual deliverance.
