How can we connect with the Godliness within ourselves?

In this week’s Parsha Podcast, our host, Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield, is joined by Pardes faculty member Yischa Smith to discuss the failure of the spies sent ahead of the tribes of Israel. Together, we will examine how their failure reflects the inability of the Jewish people to trust the Godliness within themselves. What are the potential conflicts that may be found between trusting the authentic self and the authority of a transcendent Being?
