I had planned to draw fringes which appear at the very end of the parsha this week, or maybe about the special color of blue string that is used when making them, or maybe about the last sentence of the parsha that says, "I am the ETERNAL your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I, your ETERNAL God." OR maybe I would tie them all up together with the story of the scouts that takes up most of the parsha, but it has been a busy week, and I didn't quite have the time to put all the words together, so instead I give you this.
Leann, out fearless parsha doodle leader, asked if maybe astronauts are like the scouts, exploring new territory out in space. Certainly, astronauts bravely face the unknown and the possibility of encountering new life. There are many differences of circumstance, but I have to wonder if only the scouts reported back to the people in the words of Mission Control responding to Reid Wiseman, commander of NASA’s Artemis II mission, quoting Project Hail Mary, "Amaze, amaze, amaze." How different would have been the outcome?
