[Avodah] Shelach In Reverse

[Cantor Wolberg]

"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 and the opposite of shelach occurred. Instead of their  
acting in good faith, their mission reversed and it became chalash.   
This reminds me of the word "live".   If you live in reverse, you get  
"evil." Let us remember our mission in life.
