Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
The psalmist (29:7) proclaims, “An ignorant man does’nt know, and a fool doesn’t understand.” An ignorant Jew is not a lost cause, for he may consult the sages and they will teach him Torah. However, a gentile, even a great scientist, is inevitably a fool, for he has no access to Torah and therefore cannot truly understand what he knows.
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 73–78.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman of The Temple Institute.

Rabbi Richman lets down his hair, and everything seems a little upside-down in this week’s Light to the Nations special teaching. Why is Purim the only normal day of the year? How does the Purim feast transport us to the sublime spiritual level of the world to come? How does the celebration of Purim, replete with food, drink and merriment lead to true joy and make tangible the words of Zachariah: “In that day shall the L-rd be One and his name one.” The Rabbi has the answers to all these questions, and much, much more…

Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
A prophet might fail to grasp the complete meaning of his prophecy as with Yonah. It is also possible that a truth be revealed to a prophet and he not ascertain its full meaning. This, for example, is what happened in the case of Yonah. In his prophecy, he was told, “Nineveh will be overturned (Yonah 3:4).” In I King 22:5, we read how the false prophets were “prophesying” in Achav’s presence. This means they were exerting themselves and doing things that normally would bring about a prophetic revelation. The vision they were seeking, however, was nothing more than an evil revelation.
From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 233–237.
