Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Emunah channel is here. For Info www.torahfaith.org
All three acts of Creation; to create, to form, to make; were involved in every creation, because everything has substance, form and a Divine aura. Scripture uses only one or two of the terms for each thing, as appropriated to its prominent characteristic. The human being exists fully at every level of creation, and so all three terms are used in the account of man’s creation: “And G-d said, Let us make man.” “And G-d created man.” “And HaShem. . .formed man.”

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
The Sublime Mystery of the Red Heifer: Death is Not the End!
Cleaning the Filth of the Golden Calf and the Impurity of the Deceitful Serpent
The statute par excellence of the Torah, the Red Heifer is a bridge between life and death and life ever after. Yitzchak Reuven and guest co-host Tzvi Richman explore together the inexplicable depths of the Red Heifer, and are in sore need of the world’s foremost English language expert on the Red Heifer, when behold, a phone rings in the studio and on the other end of the line is our very own Rabbi Chaim Richman, who delivers piercing words of truth concerning the Red Heifer and the critical moment in history we find ourselves in as we move past crying over the loss of the Holy Temple to building anew the Holy Temple. Rabbi Yisrael Ariel of the Temple Institute was banned from the Temple Mount last week: Why? What are the police afraid of? Who is breathing down their necks? How do we respond? More Jews and more prayer and more song on the Temple Mount. There is only one way this movie is going to end: Prayer and song for all in the Holy Temple!

Going through all these things twice: The generation of the desert, like Adam, the first man, failed to appreciate the gifts that G-d gives us. Adam blamed the woman G-d gave him for his own eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, and the Israelites in the desert complained about the spiritually refined nourishment known as manna, with which G-d kept them fed for forty years. Is it any wonder that the evil-tongued snake made an appearance in both cases, here being used by G-d as an instrument to exact from Israel a price for their flagrant disregard?

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
G-d is in His heaven, but Korach & his crowd want what’s His!
The Deadly Plague of Cynicism Sown by Korach Threatens to Destroy All of Israel!
Meet Korach, the son of Yitzhar, the son of Kehat, the son of Levi: He’s a big-time negotiator, false healer and woman hater. He a master of the bluff and master of the proposition. He wraps himself in a cloak of decency and sure loves talking in the name of religion. Fortunately, Tzvi Richman is once again in the studio with Yitzchak Reuven, and his sober take on Korach’s self serving rhetoric helps to keep the rest of us from getting swept away by Korach’s honey-tongued power grab. After last week’s kid-glove reception of the twelve spies, Moshe employs a strong armed response to Korach’s attempted coup, along with truth, righteousness and an appeal to the people’s better nature. Yes, it’s like the earth just opened and swallowed him up. He reached too high, was thrown back to the ground! Just past the debacle of the spies and now with Korach in our cross-hairs, we welcome the new month of Tammuz – a G-d given opportunity to invest all our resources in rectifying the sin of the spies.

In praise of women: They avoided the sin of the golden calf; they did not participate in the badmouthing of the land of Israel. And in parashat Korach, we learn how the wife of On ben Pelet prevented her husband from taking part in the rebellion of Korach and helped him to repent of his original intentions. Stand by your man? Stand by your woman!
