On his deathbed Yaakov avinu (our father Jacob) maps out an end of days prophecy for the children of Israel, reserving a special place for Yehudah, from whose loins will emerge leaders and kings and a messiah who will bring all mankind to G-d and redemption to all mankind.

Tevet: Light and Darkness
Three Days in Tevet: Education, Leadership, and Rebuilding
As the book of Genesis comes to a close this week with the reading of parashat Vayechi, the stage is set for the Egyptian bondage to begin… and ultimately, the redemption of Israel. At the same time this week, the major themes of this Hebrew month of Tevet are manifest in the three days of the 8th, 9th and 10th which are traditionally associated with tragedy. Tune in for a fast-paced, exceptionally informative edition of Temple Talk, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman connect the dots between the past, present and future of Israel, and bring new relevance and contemporary meaning to the month of Tevet.

Recognition and reconciliation. These two words are the key to parashat Vayigash and the key to the unity of Israel. We are all individuals and each one of us marches to a different drum, but it is the recognition of one another’s worth that is the glue that binds Israel together. Together as one, the future is bright.

Making G-d’s Dream Come True
Yosef, Zot Chanukah, and the Rectification of Vision
Our sages teach that all the spiritual power and potential for growth that Chanukah brings, is packed into the last day of the holiday, known as ‘Zot Chanukah’. This week’s inspiring edition of Temple Talk focuses on the life-changing lessons of Chanukah for this generation… the generation that is closer than ever to the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. It’s all about transforming dreams into reality, fixing blurry vision, and recognizing our brothers… and each other. Join Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman as they passionately describe this week’s special Chanukah celebration, current events on the Temple Mount, Yosef and his brothers, and more.

One Dream, One G-d, One Truth: How a young Hebrew, sold into slavery by his brothers, thought to be dead by his father, and thrown into prison a thousand miles from home, alone and unknown, was able to rise to the top of the Pharaonic ladder in Egypt, liberate the powerful potentate from the bondage of his own societal mindset, rescue the world from famine and reunite with his father and brothers.

Chanukah: Making Miracles Happen
What is the source of the powerful light of Chanukah?
Reunited in Jerusalem after a break of several weeks, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman are back together for this week’s moving edition of Temple Talk. Our hosts present a Chanukah tour de force, including a revised definition of the nature of a miracle. What constitutes a miracle today, and what was the Chanukah miracle really all about? For a deeper, yet practical understanding, the perplexed need look no further than to our very own generation. This week’s Temple Talk provides a preview into an unprecedented and historic step towards the resumption of the service in the Holy Temple: the Temple Institute’s production of pure olive oil for the Temple menorah, created according to all the complex laws of Biblical purity. A modern-day Chanukah miracle!

The high drama of parashat Vayeshev comes to teach us two things, which are really only one: We must be ever ready to take upon ourselves the task that G-d has chosen for us, and our time on this earth is not for our own leisure, but to realize the role that G-d has intended for us.
