Temple Talk Radio
August 17th, 2010 - 7 Elul 5770
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
A Sneak Peak at Jim Long’s New Documentary, “Messiah Nation”
Elul and the Rumblings of War
The Secret Psychological War Against the Jews: Amalek and the Tactic of Nagging Self-Doubt
Famed Egyptologist, film maker, author of “Riddle of the Exodus,” noted Noahide Jim Long joins Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven in the studio this week for a lively discussion on the universal dimensions of Elul and the ramifications of the “King in the Field” for the whole world.
As the rumblings of war dominate the news in Israel and the shofar-blasts of Elul herald the war against the Evil Inclination, this week’s Torah portion of Ki Tetzei begins and ends with the concept of war: From the scenario of the “captive woman” to the attack of Amalek. What’s the connection between the beginning and the end? What is Amalek’s secret weapon, and how can Elul neutralize it? Tune in to this week’s Temple Talk for answers!

Weekly Torah Portion: Ki Teitzei
August 16th, 2010 - 6 Elul 5770 “For you go out to war against your enemies, and HaShem, your G*d, will deliver him into your hands…” (Deut. 21:10) Some wars are guaranteed victories, while others, (“If you go to war in your land against an adversary that oppresses you…” Numbers 10:9) threaten to be unmitigated disasters. What basic military doctrines is Torah teaching us, and what basic attributes of love for the land and faith in G*d are required of our leaders?

The Accuser We Create
August 12th, 2010 - 2 Elul 5770Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim RichmanWeekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
Palm of Deborah, Part IV
Our sages teach that “whoever commits a sin, acquires an accuser for himself.” These are negative forces that become our persecutors, and we actually create these forces through our own misdeeds. They are nourished through our misguided energy and unless we act to correct the situation, they will rise up to accuse us. G-d “bears the iniquity” of these accusers, which we have brought into the world, who pollute His creation.

Weekly Torah Portion: Shoftim
August 9th, 2010 - 29 Menahem Av 5770 The power of positive thinking: When we prepare for war, as described in this week’s parasha, or for any challenge in life, are we focused on the task before us? Are we transmitting positivity? The spiritual force field that we create around ourselves will effect our ability, and the abilities of others around us, to attain our goals.

Palm of Deborah, Part III
G-d gives us life, and animates our very souls, and yet, when we rebel against Him by straying from the path and the harmony that He has set out for the entire world, He, in His long-suffering patience, bears our affront and continues to bless us with His great benevolence. It is incumbent upon each of us to emulate this G-dly attribute, and show great patience and forbearance toward others.
