Parashat Shemini and the Dedication of the Tabernacle: Being a Part of God’s Dream
This week we read the Torah portion of Shemini, which opens with the dedication of the desert tabernacle and the magnificent and indescribably joyful experience of the dwelling of the Shechina, the Divine Presence, in this world. As Bob Dylan said, “You can be in my dreams, if you’ll let me be in yours.” As Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explain so beautifully in this week’s edition of Temple Talk, G-d’s dream for mankind comes true when we welcome the Divine Presence into our world, and He gives us the chance to be in His dream. This week’s Temple Talk program focuses on the true meaning and significance of the dedication of the Tabernacle for us today. Plus: In honor of this week’s special Torah reading of parashat Parah, unveiling the Temple Institute’s new plans for a registry of Biblically-pure kohanim, as the Institute’s program for the restoration of purity enters into an exciting new phase. Don’t miss this exciting program!

When “the glory of HaShem appeared to” Israel “and all the people saw, sang praises, and fell upon their faces,” they sang in one perfectly pitched, harmonious voice. How do we recreate that moment? How do we stay in tune with G-d, with our own true selves, day after day? Parashat Shemini gives us the answer!
Shemini (Leviticus 9:1 – 11:47)

Confusion reigns in our modern world, and every aspect of modern society seems to feed on this confusion, fanning the flames of man’s existential disconnect with his own true self. The Holy Temple, and more specifically, the offering of animals on the stone altar in the Holy Temple, is designed to banish man’s confusion by compelling him to focus on who he is and to Whom he is answerable. Are we just a link on the food chain, or is our G-d given soul that which determines who we can be?
Tzav (Leviticus 6:1-8:36)
Parashat Tzav is read on Shabbat:

This week features:
Parashat Tzav: Holy Temple vs. a World of Illusion
Mordechai the Jews Refuses to Bow Down to the God of Political Correctness, and Proclaims the Truth: Islam Seeks to Destroy the World
This week the nation of Israel observes the joyous holiday of Purim, commemorating the deliverance of our ancestors from annihilation at the hands of the wicked Haman. But the story of Purim is really the story of global powers attempting to prevent Israel from rebuilding the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and that story is still continuing today. As Yitchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman prepared to record this historic edition of Temple Talk, their 500th program, the news of the terrible bombings in Belgium became known. What was intended to be Temple Talk’s annual Purim special took on an entirely different dimension, as our hosts offer an unparalleled, passionate analysis of the true meaning of Purim and its significance for us today, as Europe – and the entire world – crumbles before the insatiable bloodthirsty demon of Islam. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman hit the roof and go all the way through the ceiling in this 500th edition of Temple Talk, their most provocative, politically-incorrect, unabashedly insightful program ever. Off the chart!

Welcome to a world where actions speak louder than words; where a man becomes a man while drawing closer to G-d. A world so foreign to our modern sensibilities and perceptions, we need to listen with extra intent to what the book of Leviticus has to teach us.
Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1-5:26)
Parashat Vayikra is read on Shabbat:

This week features:
The Still Small Voice of the Book of Vayikra
The Holy Temple and the Secret of the Sanctity of Life: Bless the Beasts and the Children
This week the people of Israel begin the book of Vayikra, Leviticus, which deals primarily with the widely-misunderstood concept of the Temple offerings. Our sages refer to this book as ‘the heart of the Torah,’ and this week’s passionate and erudite episode of Temple Talk finds Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman exploring the concept of the korbanot, the Temple offerings, and what they really mean. It’s all about man’s humility, and the sanctity of life. Plus: Shabbat Zachor and the commandment not to forget the evil of Amalek. Don’t miss this amazing show!

Welcoming G-d into our neighborhood and making this world a better place – this is the simple yet profound reason Israel has been commanded to build for G-d a Sanctuary on this earth. Israel is a nation whose destiny is to live and act in G-d consciousness, thereby uplifting man and perfecting G-d’s creation.
Pekudei (Exodus 38:21-40:38)
