Rare Temple Mount Find: Sealed with a (Divine) Kiss

Of Chanukah Miracles Then and Now, Denial, Recognition, Reunion, and Redemption

Rare Temple Mount FindIn the penultimate Torah portion of the book of Genesis, broadcast on the penultimate day of the joyous holiday of Chanukah, this week’s Temple Talk basks in the reunion of Joseph and his brothers, and explores the parallels between that schism and all the modern-day divisions that are manifest in Israel today. Are we heading towards a reunion? What was really behind the brother’s enmity, and why didn’t they recognize the man standing in front of them? All the masks come off in this weeks’ edition of Temple Talk, shining with the light and meaning of Chanukah for our generation. Plus, an exclusive scoop: Some intimate, inside information behind this week’s press conference and announcement of the stunning archaeological discovery unearthed from the Temple Mount Sifting Project, an original clay seal bearing the words “Pure to G-d” and used to procure ingredients for bringing an offering in the Holy Temple. What’s that got to do with Chanukah? Absolutely everything!

His brothers were in shock when Yosef said “I am Yosef,” thereby removing from their eyes the blinders preventing them from seeing
G-d’s presence in every moment and in every action. So startled were they that they could not respond, they could not comprehend. Their souls left them. How much greater would be the shock were G-d to reveal His presence to us in one single moment. Therefore He reveals His great light one glimpse at a time, even as the Geula redemption marches ever forward.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak

Chapter 6

Mishnah One (continues)

From a teaching by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, Ruach Chaim.

Anyone that studies Torah for its own sake merits many things. Not only is that, the entire world, the entire Creation, worthwhile for them. He is called a beloved friend, he loves the Omnipresent One, he loves people and he makes HaShem glad. And he gladdens people, and the Creation. The study of the Torah clothes him in humility, and in fear of HaShem, and it prepares him to be righteous and straight forward. It distance him from sin and brings him close to merit.

How strong is the bond between a parent and a child? A father and a son? Yaakov could not be comforted by Yosef’s loss. Just what did Yaakov know concerning Yosef’s apparent demise? Why was there a “conspiracy of silence” surrounding Yosef’s disappearance?

Commentary from the Sefer Ruach Chaim by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin.
Rabbi Chanania ben Akashia says: The Holy One, Blessed is He, wishes to confer merit upon Yisra’el; therefore He gave them Torah and mitzvoth in abundance, as it is said (Yeshiyahu 42:21): “HaShem desired, for the sake of His righteousness, that the Torah be made great and glorious.”

This week features:

From Darkness Dreams Are NOT Deserted

The Battle Against Forgetfulness and the Victory of Remembrance

Remembering Never to ForgetTune into this week’s Temple Talk in which Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven dedicate all their effort to connecting the dots between Yosef’s  rise and fall and rise and fall and rise to the top in Egypt and the battle of the valiant Chashmoneans and their followers who fought a deadly war against the Greek oppressors, (and their Hellenizing Jewish supporters), who tried by dint of decree to darken the eyes of Israel and cause them to forget the Holy Torah. Wherein lies the Chanuka miracle: In the military victories of the few against the many, in the willingness of the oppressed Jews to rise up against the foreign occupiers, or in the once cruse of oil that burned for eight days, or in all three? Gird your loins as you prepare for this powerful edition of Temple Talk, and prepare yourselves for battle, because the same forces of darkness are still dancing all around us today. They seek to darken our eyes and annihilate our memory. We Will Not Let Them Do It!
