The Return of Prophecy
We live in a natural world which can be numerically described by the number 6. When our enemies try to darken this world G-d outflanks our adversaries and fills our world with the illumination of the supernal light, described by the number 8. Being the vessels for this lights makes our status unique, described by the number 7.
Dedication: Happy Birthday to Yael ELlis!

The high drama of parashat Vayeshev comes to teach us two things, which are really only one: We must be ever ready to take upon ourselves the task that G-d has chosen for us, and our time on this earth is not for our own leisure, but to realize the role that G-d has intended for us.
Vayeshev (Genesis 37:1-40:23)
Parashat Vayeshev is read on Shabbat:

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
In yesterday’s weekly Temple Talk radio webcast Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven made heard their outrage concerning the sudden and inexplicable decision by the government of Israel to close until further notice the Rambam Gate Bridge which provides the sole access to the Temple Mount for Jews and Gentiles. Between the Jerusalem city engineer declaring the bridge unsafe and widely reported threats from Israel’s Moslem neighbors should Israel dare to change the status quo at the Temple Mount either by closing the bridge, allowing it to remain open, tearing it down or building a replacement for it, the government of Israel seemed paralyzed.
The morning of Wednesday, December 14, Rabbi Richman and others met at the Rambam Bridge, and much to their delight, the bridge was open and access to the Mount was granted. To what do we owe this sudden change of course? Let’s hear Rabbi Richman describe this latest chapter in the Temple Mount Bridge saga.

Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin says, “Anyone that studies Torah for its own sake.” Some people may think that the idea of studying Torah for its own sake means studying in-order to come close to HaShem. According to that kind of logic a person should spend all their time singing praises to Him.” There is a Midrash that tells David requested of HaShem that He grant one that recites the Psalms that be considered as if the person had studied the Laws of Negaim and Ohalot (Tehillim 1).

This week features:
Chanukah Revisited: Who’s Afraid of the Mugrahbi Bridge?
The Whole World is a Narrow Bridge, & the Main Thing is Not to be Afraid
This week, as we read the Torah portion of Vayeshev which gives the account of the righteous Yosef’s descent into the darkness of Egypt, here in Jerusalem we are combating a darkness as well… despite the fact that next week the world will be illuminated by the hidden light of Chanukah. The darkness we refer to, of course, is the spiritual darkness behind the scenes of the Mugrahbi Bridge controversy. The stark truth, say the hosts of Temple Talk, is that it’s not about the bridge, stupid…it’s about sovereignty. Do you just want to feel good or do you want the truth? Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for rage. Not since Dylan Thomas railed “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” has such passion and intensity of feeling been expressed. And yes, we too are raging against the dying of the light… the light of sanity, of sobriety, of Jewish pride and heritage, the light of Chanukah, the light of G-d’s honor. If you listen to just one Temple Talk, make sure this is it.

Torah endows him with counsel and understanding and he uses it to benefit others. If one follows the counsel he receives from this scholar, G-d will grant him strength over his enemies.
