CHASSIDISHE STORY ON THE PARSHA
פרשת שלח
Parshas Shlach
טובה הארץ מאוד מאוד (שלח יד:ז)
The Land is very, very good!
Harav HaChassid R’ Yosef Eichler z”ל, one of the first meshamshim of Maran Reb Aharon of Belz zt”l, related:
Once, on an exceptionally hot summer day, one of the Tel Aviv Rebbes came to visit Maran Reb Aharon of Belz. Maran was seated in his usual holy manner, wrapped in a tilip (a fur-trimmed bekeshe) as though it were the middle of winter.
The guest remarked, “It is extremely hot outside! The Rebbe should remove his Tilip.”Maran replied, “It is a bit warm, but this warmth is necessary for the fruits of Eretz Yisroel so that they should grow well.”
After the guest departed, Maran commented, “One must be careful not to speak negatively about Eretz Yisroel. The Meraglim spoke negatively about Eretz Yisroel.”
