Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Yaakov’s Little Flasks: Mysterious Origins of the Chanuka Oil
Yaakov Wrestles an Angel: All the While I Was Alone, the Past Was Close Behind
With Chanuka only two weeks away, this week’s Temple Talk explores the mystery of Chanuka by the light of a little flask of oil… and it was “little flasks” that caused Yaakov to return back over the Yabok Pass, where he was confronted by “a man” with whom he struggled until dawn, when the patriarch released his opponent and was awarded the name “Yisrael.” Who was that masked man? Who is Yaakov, and who is Yisrael? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman are once again joined by the scintillating author and filmmaker Jim Long, and together they express their awe for this week’s Torah portion, Vayishlach.

Yaakov avinu’s (our forefather Jacob’s) midnight encounter with a mysterious angel: Who was this angel, what was his purpose, and by what name was he known? Yaakov overcomes the angel, and by doing so gains insight into all these questions. He also acquires for himself a new name, a new identity, and a new role to play in establishing the Divine presence here on this earth.
Vayishlach (Genesis 32:4-36:43)
Parashat Vayishlach is read on Shabbat:

Torah Observance for Gentiles, Part III
