Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
It is necessary to know that even though true good is attained by each individual according to their deeds, creation as a whole cannot be perfected until the entire Chosen People exists in it optimum state. They must be perfected through every possible aura (of holiness), and the Divine Presence must attach itself to them. Only then can the world attain a perfect state where each individual can attain (the reward) that they deserve according to their deeds.
From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 389.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
Torah describes Noach as a tzaddik – righteous man, and tammim – pure. Yet, while he saved mankind on the physical level, he failed to pray on their behalf for their spiritual salvation. Our relationship with G-d has limitless potential. But it is up to us to pursue this relationship through prayer and actions in order to reach our full potentials.

Rabbi Chaim Richman and Temple Institute Director Yehudah Glick discuss the Hakhel events which the Temple Institute conducted during the first of the intermediary days of Sukkot, and the unprecedented response of the people of Israel who arrived from the four corners of the land by the hundreds and thousands to participate in the biblically commanded Hakhel ceremony and to ascend in reverence to the Temple Mount, where Torah verses were recited aloud to mark the Hakhel.
The Rabbi and Yehudah describe the spiritual awakening they were witness to and the growing reconnection of the Jewish nation with the Temple Mount, the holiest place on earth.

Adam HaRishon – the first man contained within his soul the souls of all his progeny until the end of time. His “downfall” which occurred when he ate from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge became our opportunity to serve G-d even through our “evil urge.”
