Archive for Iyar / Sivan 5770 - May 2010
The land of Israel is the soul of all the world, and G-d’s system of providence over the land of Israel is unique in the world. The failure of the spies to recognize that Israel is the “desirable land” of HaShem was the cause of their downfall.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.

Shavuot
Receiving Torah doesn’t end with Mount Sinai or with the Shavuot festival commemorating the event. By pausing a moment to contemplate the fundamental principles of Torah we can prepare ourselves for receiving Torah anew each day.

Bat Melech – with Rena Richman
Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday.
Next Bat Melech: June 9, 2010 / Sivan 29, 5770
We are all familiar with the ten commandments, but most likely not fully aware of the depth and breadth of the spiritual message embodied in each of the ten life-instructions which are contained on the two Tablets of the Law.
Dedication:This show is dedicated to Robert & Sun Brisky.
Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 3 Mishnah 14 ‘n 15a
Late morning sleep, midday wine, children’s chatter, and sitting in meeting houses of the ignorant.
Late morning sleep: abrogates the morning prayer that Avraham instituted.
Midday wine: abrogates the noontime prayer that Yitzchak instituted.
Childrens’s chatter: which means engaging in the foolish talk found among children, is a misuse of the special blessing of children that was Ya’akov’s privilege.
Sitting in the meeting house of the ignorant: places one at a distant from the community of Yisra’el.
Our lives are made up of spiritual trials and journeys. Just as the Ark of the Covenant traveled with Israel in her journeys in the wilderness, so does G-d accompany us always in our spiritual journeys.
Beha’alotcha (Numbers 8:1-12:16)

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 3 Mishnah 12 ‘n 13
We learned in the preceding two mishnayot that HaShem fulfills our alacrity search for wisdom in response to our fear of sin and in response to our good deeds. The reason is that HaShem is so closely bound to people that He responds to our initiative. Our Mishnah continues with yet another consequence of this connection between man and HaShem: When people are pleased with someone, HaShem favors them as well.
“Treat His will as if it were your own will, so that He will treat your will as if it were His will” (Avot 2:4)
Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
Shavuot
Spending the day of Shavuot immersed in the study of Torah, as is our custom today, is but a distant remembrance of the way Shavuot was observed in the time of the Holy Temple when we immersed ourselves in the reality of Torah as it is manifested in the very land of Israel, via the first fruits – the Bikurim.
Dedication: This show is dedicated in honor of Didi Connerty’s birthday. Happy Birthday!
