THE GIANTS OF CANAAN

The meraglim claimed that we can't beat giants. But what did Yehoshua and Calev respond, and what can we learn from that about our struggle with the Yetzer Hara?

Rabbi Simcha Feuerman, LCSW-R writes:

Dear Friends,

Six years ago, I recorded a set of audio shiurim for GuardYourEyes called "The Chosson Shmooze You WISH you had but NEVER Got". Many hundreds of people listened to it and I still get feedback to this day.

The world has changed a lot since then, with more proliferation of information on sexuality, both helpful and harmful. Working with couples and individuals for now over 25 years, I see more and more a need for a clear sane voice, with a Torah perspective on these matters, despite the risks and challenges of video format.

My goal is to talk about the things you really need to know, both about sexual health, relationship health, and what do when problems and dysfunctions arise. While once upon a time, like all Torah she'Bal Peh, these matters were quietly and modestly conveyed from teacher to student, such as the case with Rav Kahana and Rav discussed in Berachos 62, today that is just not happening adequately and people are being hurt emotionally and physically out of ignorance and lack of clear guidance. I have also learned that many women listen to the Chosson Shmooze, so I have now added sections for women and renamed it the Chosson AND Kallah Shmooze.

Unavoidable Mistakes By Chaim Moshe Hass

And they cried that night…

Bit of a depressing story really.

We were within a hop skip & jump away from getting into Eretz Yisroel- then boom! Everyone has to die in the wilderness; weeping for one night means the destruction of both temples; exiles, holocausts, battles and losses.

One mess up- and all this!

A similar thing happened on the very first Friday afternoon- you know how erev Shabbos is…

Adam HaRishon was on the verge of the Geula Sheleima (complete redemption)- and one mistake causes no end of trouble! Being thrown out of Gan Eden, having an internal Yetser Hara, 6,000 years of really hard work, trouble, arguments and all sorts of unpleasantness.

Much has been written about fixing up the damage caused by our mistakes.

But what about our attitude to mistakes generally? And huge mistakes that cause untold damage specifically?

So here’s an idea:

We

Are

Human.

Yeah, I know we have unbelievable potential. But listen.

Adam Harishon was doing pretty much his best. The Jewish people were doing pretty much their best.

Mistakes are part of life. Some mistakes are avoidable. Some are definitely unavoidable.

You know which ones are unavoidable?

Logically-I-can-prove-this-one-million-per-cent–unavoidable?

Any mistake that already happened is unavoidable!

What’s a mistake? An opportunity to start again more intelligently.


No one has ever succeeded without first failing many times.

That’s how we humans work.

We try

We fail

We learn from our mistakes

We try again.

Success is built on experience.

And experience is built on failures.

The Meraglim may have failed back then.

But we can learn not to make the same mistakes that they did.

(Listen to the boost message above to learn how we can avoid their mistakes).
