The modern world knows no greater day than Yom Yerushalayim – Jerusalem Day. It’s been a long time coming, but our prophets foresaw this great event thousands of years ago!
Happy Jerusalem Day!

From the opening “And He called” of the book of Leviticus to the closing words of this week’s concluding reading, G-d has been direct, open and honest with Israel. He sets out His program for us and, in the end, it is up to us, and only up to us, to decide whether we are going to get on board, or not.
Bechukotai (Leviticus 26:3-27:34)
Parashat Bechukotai is read on Shabbat:
Iyar 27, 5772/May 19, 2012

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Parashat Bechukotei and Rabbi Akiva’s Vision of Consolation
The Word From G-d, and It’s Not Politically Correct: Galut is Death, Period
The Book of Leviticus concludes this week with parashat Bechukotei, a Torah portion that features beautiful words of idyllic blessing guaranteeing Israel’s future when she but heeds her covenant with the Al-mighty. Conversely, harsh words of admonition describe the nation’s fate if she turns her back on G-d and puts her faith in “happenstance;” that leads to exile, tantamount to death itself. But Whoa! Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman conclude that it is up to Israel to turn the woe into whoa! and simply get with the program, in tune with the flow of all creation. No wonder this Torah portion, which hinges upon our realization of G-d’s hand upon us at all times and under all circumstances, leads us right up to the joyous celebration of Jerusalem Day, 5772, a day which reveals great Divine providence and G-d’s protection, even as He brings us out of the exile and back home to the Land of Israel. This week’s edition of Temple Talk is one for the Hall of Fame!

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” PeakEmunah channel is here. For Info www.torahfaith.org
How will we hide our faces in shame when we come to the next world empty handed! The situation has not been this bad since the day that the Torah was given on Mount Sinai.
Furthermore, the earlier generations fulfilled the Torah from conditions of great financial duress and under oppression from the nations. Today, we sit tranquilly in our houses, and when a matter of halachah arises, or halachic decisions need to be rendered, we search every nook and cranny to find relevant references. We search through topics until we find what we are looking for, or something close to it, and then proudly invoke the Rabbinical dictum: “Believe one who says: I labored and I found.”
In memory of George Thomas Brown

The Return of Prophecy
Just as our foot fits in our shoe, so too, our soul fits into our body. A poorly kept shoe will lead to a a painful and swollen foot. Likewise concerning our physical beings and our soul. But if we conduct our lives properly and with modesty, our soul can flourish within our bodies.
Dedication: Dedicated to Mr. Forrest Walker.
