Shelach

This week, Moshe sends a leader from each tribe to scout the land of Canaan, the land that G!d is about to give to the Israelites. Forty days later, the spies come back and report that the land does indeed flow with milk and honey. However, they feared greatly that the people were too strong, saying:וַנְּהִ֤י בְעֵינֵ֙ינוּ֙ כַּֽחֲגָבִ֔ים וְכֵ֥ן הָיִ֖ינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽםWe looked like grasshoppers to ourselves, and so we must have looked to them.The Israelites were filled with anxiety, even wishing to go back to Egypt immediately.It seems like no mistake that later in this parsha, G!d commands the Israelite people to tie tzitzit, fringes, to the corners of their garments, saying:וְהָיָ֣ה לָכֶם֮ לְצִיצִת֒ וּרְאִיתֶ֣ם אֹת֗וֹ וּזְכַרְתֶּם֙That shall be your tzitzit, look at him/it and rememberThe object of the sentence is wonderfully unclear. Perhaps when we look at the tzitzit we see something about G!dself, wrapped and tangled in the world and in our lives, reminding us that we are connected. In times of great fear and anxiety, when we feel like grasshoppers in our own eyes, what can we hold on to to remember we are loved and connected?
