In response to the hysteria of the people, Hashem wishes to destroy the nation altogether, but Moshe successfully intercedes on their behalf. Hashem then decrees a 40-year wandering in the desert, during which this generation will die out. Some of the people regret their sin & they try to then enter Israel immediately (against G-d's will), but are wiped out.
The Parsha then discusses the law of wine libations & the law of Challa, separating a piece of the dough to give to the Kohen. We then read about the incident of the M'koshesh Etzim, who desecrated the Shabbat by collecting wood & was executed. Finally, we read the third paragraph of the Shema, detailing the Mitzva to wear Tzitzit on our four-cornered garments, which help to serve as a constant reminder of Hashem & His commandments.
We bentsch Rosh Chodesh Tamuz (which will occur next Shabbat & Sunday).
The Haftora is "Vayishlach Yehoshua," (Yehoshua 2) wherein Yehoshua – like Moshe did – sends out spies to scout the land prior to its conquest by Bnei Yisrael.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
