The Rebbe explores why the concept of a 'minyan' (quorum of ten) for sacred matters is derived from the spies, despite their sin. He explains that the spies were on a high spiritual level, desiring to remain in the desert's spiritual environment rather than engage in the physical tasks of settling the Land of Israel.
