Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Emunah channel is here. For Info www.torahfaith.org
Trusting in HaShem — in regard to what he promised the righteous concerning reward in this world and the next for their devotion, that he will grant it to those who deserve it, and also punish those who deserve it — is incumbent upon the believer. Trusting in HaShem in this matter is essential to perfect faith in HaShem, as it is written: “He believed in HaShem, and He counted it to him as righteousness” (Bereishit 15:6); “Had I not trusted that I would behold the goodness of HaShem in the land of life…” (Tehillim 27:13).
A person should not rely on his good conduct and confidently assure himself that he will be rewarded for it, here and hereafter. Rather, he should be active and vigorous in showing gratitude for the Creator’s favors continually bestowed upon him, but not out of hope for future reward that will be due him for his actions. In this regard he should trust in HaShem, after doing his best to repay the debt of gratitude he owes Creator for His great kindness toward him. As our Masters, of blessed memory, said: “Be not like servants who serve the master on condition of receiving a reward, but be like servants who serve the master not on condition of receiving a reward; and let the fear of Heaven be upon you” (Avot 1:3).

Countdown To a Historic Sukkot Pilgrimage to the Temple Mount
The Profound Joy of the Sukkot Experience: First Day of the Rest of our Lives
Yom Kippur is behind us, and the challenges of a brand-new year are before us. In this gala Sukkot edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman connect the dots between the Days of Awe and the week-long festival of Sukkot, G-d’s own confirmation of His forgiveness and eternal love for Israel. Our hosts are ready to escape into the sukkah, closest experience in our time to being in the Holy Temple itself. But over the Sukkot holiday, Yitzchak and the rabbi indeed intend on helping others to relive the pilgrimage to the Holy Temple! Tune into this week’s Temple Talk as our hosts discuss just why Sukkot is called by the Torah “the time of our joy.” We wish all our listeners Chag Sameach, a joyous festival of Sukkot. The next edition of Temple Talk will air after the festival, on 27 Tishrei, Tues. Oct. 4th, G-d willing.

Enter the new year of 5774 with a song in your heart. Ha’azinu, a microcosm of the spiritual history of Israel and G-d, is a beautifully compelling song that challenges all generations of man. We stand before the King in song and prayer as we cross the threshold into a new year. Shana Tova!

Rosh HaShana: Will the Real King Please Stand Up?
Face-Off of Rosh HaShana: The Destitute King vs. The Supreme King
Rosh HaShana, Adam’s awesome birthday is here, ushering in the New Year. In this Rosh HaShana Temple Talk special, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman reflect on the legacy of Adam HaRishon, the first man, whose descendants – great and small, individuals and nations – are examined on this Day of Judgment. Tune into the last Temple Talk for 5773 as our hosts discover that it’s the breath of Adam that counts… and that breath, blasting from our souls through the narrow opening of the shofar, can make all the difference in the world. Temple Talk will back next year (next week, that is) in 5774… and may it be a year of great blessing for Israel and all humanity… may this be the year of the rebuilding of the Holy Temple!
