Numbers chapters 13 & 14, in the Torah, help explain why it took the Israelites 40 years to get to Canaan after escaping Egypt, a journey that, under ordinary circumstances, would not take all that long. It is a story of the power of faith and the power of fear, and how our own fears are often the biggest obstacles in our way. Rev. Ariel will reflect on one place where this came up in their own life, and encourage all to lean into courage and faith as we work towards our respective dreams.
