The spies returned with a negative report of the land, and instead of trusting God, the Jews cried about the fate the spies predicted for them. This was a great sin, which resulted in the Jews being banned from entering the land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Jews realized that they made a grave error, a group of people named the \u201cMa\u2019apilim\u201d decided to take action. They decided that they will repent, and enter the land by force. But Moshe (Moses) warned them that it was too late. The deed had been done, and they cannot rectify the consequence. If they try go by force, they will fail. But they did not heed the warning of Moshe, and they forged ahead. As predicted, they were attacked by the people of the land, and they were all killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Too Late<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We make this mistake of the Ma\u2019apilim all the time. We think we can do as we wish, and in the end it will all work out and we won\u2019t suffer any long-term consequences. But this is not necessarily so. Yes, a person can always do <em>teshuvah <\/em>(repentance), but this doesn\u2019t mean that one can always rectify the consequences. There are times that heeding our personal desires will cause us to lose out on opportunities which will never return. If we are wise, we will consider what we are risking, before making mistakes in our service of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Had You Cried Once&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This concept was taught by Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) (Yalkut Shimoni, <a href=\"https:\/\/library.alhatorah.org\/?r1=Yalkut_Shimoni_Yirmeyahu_40:1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yirmiyahu 327 [40:1]<\/a>). When the Jews were exiled from their land, and Yirmiyahu the prophet had to leave them, the Jews began to cry and wail. In response, Yirmiyahu said, \u201cI testify with the heaven and the earth, had you cried once [a cry of repentance] when you were still in Zion, you would not have been exiled!\u201d But now it was too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Unhappy Wagon Drivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brisker Rav once reprimanded a person sharply for a misdeed which could cause dreadful ramifications. The man felt very remorseful, and asked what he can do to rectify what he had done. The Brisker Rav replied with a story: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was once a wealthy fellow who lost his money, and was forced to find a way to earn a living. He decided to buy a horse and buggy, with whatever money he had left, and become a wagon driver. When the other wagon drivers in town heard about the new competition, they were not happy. It was hard enough to earn a living as it was, and now it would become even harder. They decided to meet to discuss the problem, and at the meeting, the oldest wagon driver told them, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about. Leave it up to me to take care of him.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the Mud is Too Deep?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after, the old wagon driver went to the new wagon driver and struck up a conversation with him, \u2018So I heard you are becoming a wagon driver.\u2019 \u2018Yes,\u2019 replied the man, \u2018Unfortunately, I have to resort to other ways to earn a living.\u2019 \u2018You know,\u2019 said the old wagon driver, \u2018being a wagon driver entails great responsibility. It\u2019s not so simple to just become a wagon driver.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018What do you mean?\u2019 asked the man. \u2018Well,\u2019 said the old wagon driver, \u2018What are you going to do if it\u2019s late at night and you get stuck in the mud in the middle of a dangerous forest?\u2019 \u2018That\u2019s not such a big deal,\u2019 answered the man, \u2018I\u2019ll whip the horses and they will pull us out.\u2019 \u2018But what will you do if that doesn\u2019t work?\u2019 asked the old wagon driver. \u2018I\u2019m a strong person,\u2019 answered the man, \u2018I will go out and help the horses.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Please Teach Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018But what will you do if that doesn\u2019t work either?\u2019 asked the old wagon driver. \u2018Then I will have to ask my passengers to give a hand to push it out.\u2019 \u2018But what if the mud is so deep that all your combined strength can\u2019t pull it out? It can be very dangerous and it will be your responsibility!\u2019 \u2018I don\u2019t know what can be done in such a case,\u2019 replied the man, \u2018Please teach me what I can do.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The old wagon driver then said, \u2018I am willing to tell you, but only on condition that you swear to me that you will not become a wagon driver.\u2019 The man was in a dilemma. On the one hand, this was going to be his new way of earning a living. But on the other hand, he couldn\u2019t risk being stuck in such a situation. In the end, he agreed and swore that he would not become a wagon driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Wise Person Avoids the Mud in the First Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Now I\u2019ll tell you what you do,\u2019 said the old wagon driver, \u2018If you ended up in such a situation, there is truly nothing that can be done. But a good wagon driver makes sure he never ends up in such mud in the first place.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn your case too,\u201d said the Brisker Rav, \u201cI don\u2019t have any advice on how to rectify what is done. A wise person makes sure he doesn\u2019t end up in such mud in the first place.\u201d This is the lesson of Ma\u2019apilim. Not all can be rectified. Be wise and don\u2019t get stuck in the mud in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/sign-up.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the weekly Torah portion with a weekly study partner.
