Next week on Light to the Nations:
The Temple Offerings, Part VI
The month of Tammuz has been marked for the past two thousand years of Jewish history by weeping and mourning for the Holy Temple. Is our mourning constructive, ultimately empowering us to rise up from off the floor and rebuild the Holy Temple, as our sages originally intended it to be, or have we fallen into the tragedy trap of mourning for the sake of mourning? Rabbi Richman explores the ancient world’s celebration of the cult of weeping, and Torah’s age old battle against the victory of defeat.
Dedication: Dedicated in honor of David Spitz on his birthday!

The Tammuz Special was originally broadcast on Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, 5768, (the beginning of the new month of Tammuz, one year ago – 2008). Rabbi Richman’s insights remain as valuable and relevant today as they were two years ago:
From the days of the spies, the month of Tammuz has been one of harsh judgement for Israel. But Tammuz is not fated to be so for ever. By speaking well of the land of Israel and increasing our appreciation and intensifying our love for the land – right now – in the month of Tammuz, we can begin to turn Tammuz from a bitter month to a sweet month.
Dedication: Dedicated to Darla Deckard.

The Levitical orchestra didn’t simply provide pleasant background accompaniment for the Temple offerings. The music was an integral spiritual aspect of the service of the offerings, designed to awaken within the worshipper true feelings of repentance. Second in a series.

The Daily (Tamid ) Offering is so central to Israel’s relationship with G-d that the daily prayer service of the past two thousand years is based upon the structure and purpose of the Daily Offering. But how did the Daily Offering actually take place in the Holy Temple?

The Temple Offerings, Part V
Israel has never lost sight of our obligation to renew the Divine service at the nearest possible opportunity, and throughout the millennia a number of Israel’s greatest sages have striven to create conditions in which Temple offerings could be made. Today a growing number of scholars and spiritual leaders are calling for the immediate renewal of the offerings, beginning with the Korban Pesach – the Passover offering.
Dedication: Dedicated to Razia & Tzvi Richman: Mazal tov on the birth of a son!

The Temple Offerings, Part IV
The pilgrimage experience combined a sublime sense of expectation with an all-embracing feeling of total trust in HaShem, as Temple-goers left their farms and fields and made their way to Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. The festival of Shavuot, which celebrates the land of Israel and commemorates the receiving of Torah at Sinai epitomizes the total pilgrimage experience. Filmed at the southern wall of the Temple Mount. Recast from one year ago.
Dedication: Dedicated to Yaakov Spitz. Happy Birthday!
