Main Characters:

-Rachab

-2 Jewish Spies

-G-d

-Joshua

Summary:

Joshua wanted to enter the land of Israel with the Israelites. Although, first he needed to check to make sure it was safe for the Israelites to be there, so he sent 2 spies to check. Then, the spies went and a nice woman named Rachab helped them and they were safe. 

Or, in other words:

Rachab knew the Jews were planning to take over but she feared G-d and knew they would win. So she helped them. Then they agreed not to kill her or her family.

Deeper Meanings:

Always go out of your way to help others, even if it endangers you. This is because G-d will then help you. In other words, trust in G-d’s plans and then he will have great plans for you. We know this because Rachab trusted in G-d to protect her, so she was able to protect others because of knowing that. Also, the two Jewish spies trusted in Joshua who trusted in G-d and they were safe as well. 

Real Life Examples:

Stand up for what you believe in. For example, currently in the world we are dealing with African Americans not being treated equally to White Americans. This gives us the opportunity to stand up and show what we think is right towards African Americans. For example, if you believe that African Americans should be treated equally to everyone else, maybe go out of our way to be nice to an African American when you see one and help them if they need help to show them that. Also, we are dealing with a global pandemic currently (covid-19). This as well gives us the opportunity to act and do as we think is right. For example, if you think staying home and wearing a mask and gloves when going out, the do so to show what you believe and maybe others will follow along!
