Before the Jews were to enter the land of Israel, Moses sent twelve Jewish leaders to scout the promised land and bring back a report for all the people. Since G-d had promised this land to the Jewish people numerous times, the question was never whether they would indeed inherit this gift from G-d, but rather how best to accomplish it.
When the spies returned from their scouting mission, they did what many journalists do today: they interjected their own opinions into what was meant to be just a report of the facts on the ground. They interspersed commentary and op-ed material into the news article. They declared that it was impossible to conquer the land, although they were never asked about this as it was already a given. G-d had miraculously taken them out of Egypt, split the sea for them, and given them the gift of the Torah. Surely, He was capable of fulfilling the promise of the land.
For the last eight months, the Jewish people have again been struggling with these questions: Is it feasible for the Jewish people to live safely in the land of Israel under the threats of its deadly neighbors?
The answer today is just as it was then: G-d long ago promised that the Jewish people are His cherished holy people and gifted them the Holy Land for eternity. It is not a question of if, but just a question of how... The critical thing for us is to brush up on our faith in G-d and His capabilities to protect His 'lonely sheep among 70 wolves'. When we believe in miracles, they actually happen !
