Love is in the air as Israel stands at the foot of Mount Sinai, ready to receive Torah and betroth themselves to G-d, a wedding whose anniversary we celebrate this week on Shavuot. This week’s parasha, Naso, makes many a meaningful reference to the happenings at Mount Sinai.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Shavuot: From Barley to Bread, from Slavery to Freedom
Bringing the First Fruits on Shavuot: Getting Real in the Land of Israel
The awesome spiritual energy of the month of Sivan comes to a climax this week as we complete the seven-week period of counting the omer, and Israel observes the Festival of Shavuot, poised and ready to relive the Sinai Revelation experience. But Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman remind us that there’s more to Shavuot than staying up all night. In the days of the Holy Temple, there is a completely different emphasis: the bringing of the first fruits. What’s fruit got to do with Torah study? Well, that depends on if you mean the real Torah. Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for an insight into Shavuot, the great celebration of the Land of Israel. Plus: just who is shutting our mouths on the Temple Mount? The Knesset gets involved and the plot thickens.

G-d knows your name. He’s got your number. Torah is His to share with you. All its paths lead to Him. And all you’ve got to do is ask? No! All you’ve got to do is dedicate your every moment to living a life of Torah, and He will open each and every door. It’s your birthright. This is what we learn from parashat Bamidbar, the opening chapters of the book of Numbers, and this is the message of the holiday of Shavuot – coming up next week!
Bamidbar (Numbers 1:1-4:20)

This week features:
The Flags of Jerusalem Day and the Flags of Mount Sinai
From Jerusalem Day to Shavuout: A Lesson in Jewish Unity 101
As we prepare to usher in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers) which we will begin reading this Shabbat, this week’s edition of Temple Talk focuses on the observance of Jerusalem Day, which this year marks the 46th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman reflect on the amazing spiritual significance of this special day, and its connection, exactly one week later, to the festival of Shavuot, which commemorates Israel receiving the Torah at the Sinai Revelation. What’s the connection? Here’s a hint: One is not the loneliest number!

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
The Admonitions of Bechukotei: Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Netanyahu Bans Feiglin from the Temple Mount: A Tale from the Twilight Zone
Just as our hosts were recording this week’s edition of Temple Talk, coinciding with the harsh words of admonition in this week’s second Torah portion of Bechukotei, those words seem to come true, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman received the terrible news of the murder of Evyatar Borovsky, 32 year old father of 5, by a Palestinian terrorist just recently released from an Israeli jail. How long will our righteous, beautiful and holy Jews continued to be slain before our eyes? Perhaps until we, as a nation, really begin not only to perform G-d’s commandments, but to ‘listen’ to His voice as well…
Just one week before Jerusalem Day, the very day that celebrates the reunification of our city and Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem, Knesset member Moshe Feiglin was banned from visiting the Temple Mount by no less than Prime Minister Netanyahu himself. Was the Prime Minister a bit overstepping his bounds? Legal? Illegal? Twilight zone material? Tune into this week’s Temple Talk as we explore the far reaches of the Temple Mount.

Wanted: Dead or alive! There is no doubt that G-d loves and wants His people Israel. Either we are alive to His presence, and worthy of the blessings listed in Behar-Bechukotai, or we are dead to His presence, and thus deserving of the horrific admonitions enumerated in Behar-Bechukotai. The choice is ours.
Behar-Bechukotai (Leviticus 25:1-27:34)
Parashat Behar-Bechukotai is read on Shabbat:
