Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak

He who trusts in G-d has peace of mind and tranquility of soul.
He who trusts in HaShem is not hindered in his trust by wealth, for he does not rely on his money. Rather, he regards it as a deposit which he has been commanded to use in certain ways and certain purposes, for a limited amount of time. If it stays at length in his possession, he does not, on its account, become arrogant. He does not remind the recipients of his charity of the kindness he rendered to them, for he was only performing his duty. He does not wish to be thanked and praised for his kindness, but thanks the Creator, may He be exalted, for having made him an agent of kindness. If he loses his money, he will not grieve or mourn of its absence. Rather, he thanks HaShem when the deposit is collected, just as he thanked Him when it was first given to him. He rejoices in his portion, does not seek to injury anyone, and does not covert anyone’s property, as the Wise Man said: “A righteous man eats only until he is satisfied” (Mishlei 13:25).

The Thin Red Line: Parashat Chukat describes so many seemingly unrelated events, yet it is the profound fundamental truth contained in the commandment of the red heifer – para aduma – that ties all these events so tightly together.
Chukat (Numbers 19:1-22:1)
Parashat Chukat is read on Shabbat:

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Moshe Strikes the Rock: There’s No Success Like Failure
Tammuz and Carly Simon: I Haven’t Got Time for the Pain
It’s cryin’ time again. It’s the month of Tammuz, and I’ll cry if I want to! That’s what we’ve been doing for the longest time. Everybody loves a good cry, but why is it so hard to stop crying and get moving? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the weeping of Tammuz in this riveting episode of Temple Talk. Not a show for the weak-hearted.
This week’s Torah portion of parashat Chukat is replete with mystery between the lines; from the Red Heifer, to Moses striking the rock, to the well of Miriam, the common thread in this parashat Chukat is what’s not said. Our hosts delve deeply and expound upon this beautiful portion that testifies to the greatness of the Generation of the Desert…. and challenges us to continue where they left off.

Above all things by a servant of G-d, that is: trust in G-d; for it is of great benefit in both religious and secular affairs.
Among its benefits to him in religious life is tranquillity of soul in reliance of G-d, may He be exalted, as the servant is bound to relay on his master. For if a person does not put his trust in g-d; and whoever trusts in what is other than G-d, G-d removes His providence from him and leaves him in the hands of whatever he trusted in. he becomes like those of hands of whatever he trusted in. he becomes like those of whom it is said: “Two evils have My people committed: they have forsaken Me, a freshwater spring to hew themselves cisterns, cracked cisterns” (Yirmiyahu 2:13); “They exchanged their Glory for the image of a bull that eats grass” (Tehillim 106:20).

This week features:
Korach, Tammuz and Us: Rewiring the Motherboard of Time
The Month of Tammuz Approaches: Now Ain’t the Time for Your Tears
Korach and his revolution figure prominently in this week’s edition of Temple Talk. Just what was this demagogue’s problem? It seems he decided that the Universe is just not big enough for him and G-d. There’s a lot of that going around, but Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman have zero tolerance for the Korachs of our generation. You say you want a revolution? Well, you know… you better free your mind instead.
The month of Tammuz is just around the corner, and the New Moon will usher in the new month this coming Shabbat and Sunday. Yitzchak Reuven announces the Temple Institute’s annual See and Say Only Good Things About the Land of Israel Month! It’s our part to play in the living Torah – fixing the sin of the spies which tainted these days of Tammuz, and helping to turn days of baseless crying into days of joy and rebuilding.

Korach was a brilliant man of exceptional abilities. But his I, Me, Mine philosophy of life literally drove him from this world. In truth, we make room for ourselves in G-d’s world by making room for others. This was the gift of Aharon, the High Priest. Korach’s attempt to acquire for himself the priesthood was doomed from the start.
Korach (Numbers 16:1-18:32)
