Shelach Lecha 5782

This is Torah Talk for the week of June 19th, 2022

Num. 14:10  As the whole community threatened to pelt them with stones, the Presence of the Lord appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.

This week, two (seemingly) simple questions:  Who is “them” that the community is threatening to stone, and why does the Presence of the Lord appear?
