Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.

When HaShem/Elokim created the world He intended to give the Torah to “mankind.” But Odom haRishon sinned; Cain killed his brother; in the next generation idolatry was instituted. Finally, indulging in robbery and sexual immorality as well as idolatry; mankind was unfit to receive the Torah. But this time there was Noach, a tsaddik who walked with HaShem/Elokim, fit to be the ancestor of a people who would receive the Torah.

From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 133–134.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.

Who is afraid of the land of Israel? Why did ten of the twelve spies sent by Moses reject the land that they themselves described as “flowing with milk and honey?” (Numbers 13:27) They feared the very physical bounty of the land, and contended that the children of Israel would be spiritually safer in the desert. But it was G-d’s desire that the people should take on the earthly challenge head-on, for the purpose of raising up the material and imbuing it with the spiritual.

Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.

Man and creation are composed of 248 basic components, each rectified via the 248 words of the Shema”. HaShem daily renews the Divine Influences which sustain all of creation and sends a new Influence particular to each day of His creation. The significance of the Shema, “Hear O Israel, HaShem is our G-d, HaShem is One,” is therefore to bear witness to HaShem’s unity in all its aspects, as well as to accept the yoke of His Kingdom and His Authority over all creation, and to resolve to give one’s life for the sanctification of His Name.

The first member of mankind was Odom (Adam). His name speaks for itself, for the word means “man” (not in the sense of an “adult male,” for the Hebrew word “Odom” has no connotation of sex or age (Bereishit 1:27, 5:1,2 and Mattos, BaMidbar 31:34). This one individual, dubbed “mankind,” is no less that the founder of humanity.

The second person was Chava (Eve). She too, represents not merely an individual, but all life ever after, as the Torah (Bereishit3:20) tells us: The man called his wife’s name “Chava,” for she is mother of all living.

Of the next generation we read (4:17): Cain knew his wife and conceived and bore Chanoch. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, “Chanoch.”

One man built an entire city. Undoubtedly, that is the reason HaShem/Elokim made the early generations live as long as they did, for otherwise civilization could not have been established.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.

The children of Israel build the tabernacle which sits still when covered by the cloud but the lifting of the cloud is a sign that it is time to move on. So too, in our own lives. We create our own tabernacle, so to speak, a meeting place with G-d. Sometimes this appointed place becomes covered with clouds of doubt and spiritual stagnation. When the cloud lifts it is a sign from G-d that it is time to dispel doubt and move on in our spiritual journey.

Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.

Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday. The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on June 25, 2008, (Sivan 22, 5768).

Ruth, the story of the Moabite princess who attached herself to the Jewish nation and the G-d of Israel, is traditionally read in synagogues on the upcoming festival of Shavuoth. Rena Richman reveals fascinating midrashic insights into the historical background of the story, focusing on the unique personalities of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz. These three individuals together create the foundations of the Davidic dynasty.
