Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak

HaShem desired to reveal His will to man, and therefore prepared a process of revelation through which He makes Himself known to mortal man in the physical world. Through this process, HaShem reveals whatever He desires, whether it be His secrets and mysteries, concept of His providence, or decrees that He is issuing regarding the world. This process is called prophecy.

Rav K’tina asserts that the world is destined to exist six thousand years. In the seventh millennium it will be obliterated (changed), when the world of this verse (Isaiah 2:11) will be fulfilled, “HaShem alone will be mighty on that day”… There is proof to the opinion of Rav K’tina, for we learn, “Just as each seventh year is Shmitta, a yeay of sabbatical, so the world will have a sabbatical one thousand years in a period of seven thousand, as the novi proclaims, HaShem alone will be mighty on that day.” Another verse, Psalms 92a, indicating the same idea: “A song, a poem for the day of Shabbot,” referring to a day of utter sabbatical. “Day” in these verses means one thousand years, as we learn from, Psalms 90:4, “One thousand years in Your eyes are like a day, like the previous day just passed.”
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 185–187.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
“Listen, O heavens, and I will speak! And let the earth hear the words of my mouth!” (Deuteronomy 31:2) The word of G-d from Mount Sinai speaks to us constantly, day and night, calling upon us to repent. It is up to us to hear this voice. Man himself has a heavenly, spiritual side to whom G-d addresses: “Listen, O heavens, and I will speak!” And man has an earthly, physical side which can weigh him down, to which G-d speaks, “And let the earth hear the words of my mouth!” G-d loves both aspects of man. His voice can be heard, if we but choose to listen.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman of The Temple Institute.
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
The sublime joy of repentance. Seen by some from the “outside” as a day of doom and gloom, Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year, is described by our sages as the happiest day of the year. What could possibly be more joyful than being given the Divine gift of being able to “come clean” before G-d? What happier moment could occur than the experience of G-d erasing our past sins and granting us the opportunity to begin again as righteous ones before Him?
