Shelach Lecha - 2022

Chevre, this week’s parsha is שְׁלַח לְׁךָ (Shelach Lecha). In this week’s parsha, scouts are sent out into The Land of Israel. They each cover a different area, but upon their return they don’t report quietly to Moshe, they report to the whole community. This is like a company that runs a POC on the cloud and instead of reporting to their directors, they tell the whole company the report. And the report they give is accurate in the facts, but the interpretation is flawed. The penance for this decision based on a flawed interpretation? 40 years of more data center building, maintance and weekend upgrades. Or 40 years in the desert. May we all learn the lesson to report the appropriate facts to the appropriate levels of people and to have the courage and wisdom to hear everyone’s interpretations to come to the best conclusion. Shabbat Shalom.
