The Return of Prophecy
Just as our foot fits in our shoe, so too, our soul fits into our body. A poorly kept shoe will lead to a a painful and swollen foot. Likewise concerning our physical beings and our soul. But if we conduct our lives properly and with modesty, our soul can flourish within our bodies.

G-d loves the land of Israel just as He loves the people of Israel. And G-d requires of the people of Israel to likewise love and honor the land, and observe her sabbatical and jubilee years.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
The Corner of the Field: Uninterrupted G-d Consciousness
A Torah Study on the Mitzvot of the Field: Crop Circles in the Land of Israel
In one more week, Jewish communities in the Diaspora will realign themselves with their counterparts in the Land of Israel, and all will once again be reading the same Torah portion. In the meantime, this week’s Temple Talk finds Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman discovering a precious Torah insight in the portion of Emor, regarding the unique agricultural commandments of the gifts to the poor that are left in the field. Also, in this week’s Torah portion of Behar (read in the Land of Israel), the penultimate Torah portion of the book of Leviticus, we are introduced to G-d’s love affair with the Land of Israel through the commandments of the Sabbatical and Jubilee year cycles. Why does this concept suddenly appear in sefer Vayikra, and what’s it got to do with Mount Sinai? Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for some fascinating answers!

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak

One should repeat a point of Torah in the name of the one who said it, and not plagiarize.
Each person was created with a unique aptitude which surfaces in the perception of Torah. Since Torah includes all of these personal view-points, if one omits the name of the person whose opinion he states, he has altered the Torah.
On a more practical level, on may explain the requirements to “repeat a saying in the name of the one who said it” as being careful not to gloss over or change any detail of his studies.

In article 30 we read how “Beloved” includes being beloved to G-d as well as beloved to people. Clearly, if one is not beloved to G-d, G-d will not give him His Torah and share with him His wisdom.
One is beloved for the pleasing things he does for another. One makes G-d “happy,” not for what he does, but for what he is. One who is of fine and pleasant character makes G-d happy that He created such a being, and he makes people happy to have him as part of the community. Being close to people and to G-d is reflected by the Torah being close to him, and hence he receives Torah readily.

The Return of Prophecy
Space and time are set to open their gates and allow a direct interface between man and heaven. The Torah narrative of Moses shows us how this is possible.
