[Avodah] Shelach

Cantor RW: 
> It's very interesting that the theme of Shelach -- sending the spies
> to Canaan should have been positive. If you reverse the word Shelach,
> you get chalash, which means to 'weaken.'Since the spies acted backwards,
> instead of their being sent on a positive mission, they had little faith
> andthe opposite of shelach occurred. Instead of their acting in good
> faith, their mission reversed and it becamechalash. This reminds me of
> the word "live." If you live in reverse, you get "evil."Let us remember
> our mission in life.
 
Just a footnote: 
The story in the Haftara are the Tiqqun and redemption for the Torah Portion..
