Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
Building the Temple, Part II
G-d commands and man fulfills. The long anticipated coming of the moshiach is not linked in any way to Israel’s obligation to build the Holy Temple, as explicitly commanded in Torah by G-d to the Jewish people. Nor is the popular notion that the Holy Temple will descend from heaven ready-built based in Torah or halachic reality.
This teaching was initially posted in October 2009. Rabbi Richman will not be recording new teachings until he returns from his upcoming trip to the USA.
Dedication: Sacred to the memory of Vendyl Jones.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Get Ready for the 10 Plagues: “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!”
Beginning the Long March from Exile & Servitude to Liberty & Redemption
Some people couldn’t see or feel G-d’s presence even if He came out and hit them over the head. Pharaoh, the absolute monarch of Egypt, is one of these people. In fact, it will take ten heavy hits to knock some recognition into Pharaoh’s head and his heart. Moses has been chosen to be the messenger, although he feels highly under-qualified. G-d, however, is determined that Moses will be the man who delivers Israel.
Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven express their sadness at the passing of Vendyl Jones, a passionate and compassionate spiritual giant of our generation. May his memory be for a blessing.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Mishnah 17
Rabbi Shimon says: There are three crowns–the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood and the crown of kingship: but the crown of a good name surpasses them all.
Mishnah 16 extolled the importance of Talmud over the importance of Mishnah and Scripture. Mishnah 17 was placed after that statement because the “crown of Torah” refers primarily to the study of the Talmud, rather than the Scripture or Mishnah.
Parashat Va’era traces the steps of the emergence of the children of Israel from the bondage of Egypt, for which we thank G-d every day, and celebrate on the seven days of Passover. True, we are no longer slaves in Egypt, but how free are we?
Va’era (Exodus 6:2-9:35)
Parashat Va’era is read on Shabbat:

We have studied Maimonides’ Laws of the Chosen House, and we have learned the many details of the Holy Temple. Are we now ready to build? We think so, but some voices differ. A guide for the perplexed.

Mishnah 14-15-16
Rabbi Yochanan the Sandler says: Every assembly that is dedicated to the sake of Heaven will endure to the end, but one that is not for the sake of Heaven will not endure to the end.
Rabbi Elazar ben Shamua says: Let the honor of your student be as dear to you as your own; the honor of your colleague as the reverence for your teacher; and the reverence for your teacher as the reverence of Heaven.
Rabbi Yehudah says: Be meticulous in Talmud, for a careless misinterpretation in Talmud is considered tantamount to willful transgression.
