Temple Institute Shows
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
The Blessing and the Curse: The Meaning of Serving G-d with Joy
Elul, Ramadan and the Temple Mount
Parshat Ki Tavo: A Basket Full of First Fruits, and the Secret of Expressing Thanks
Half way through the month of Elul, our Temple Talk hosts want to pause to make sure they’ve got it right: Is our Elul experience helping to make our connection to G-d more real than ever? Fortunately, they discover that this week’s Torah portion of Ki Tavo is actually a concise guide to the themes of Elul – an Elul survival kit – that contains everything we need to know to break away from the rote and humdrum of our everyday existence and get back to where we belong; fully focused on “G-d consciousness.”
Join Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman as they discuss the intricate beauty of the commandment to bring first fruits to the Holy Temple, in joy and thankfulness, and what this means for every single human being today.
Plus: The King is in the Field, and everybody knows that the field is none other than the Temple Mount. What does the King encounter when He makes His surprise visit there these days? Find out what happens when Elul and Ramadan face off in the field of dreams.
REVISITING THE KING IN THE FIELD: FIELD OF DREAMS, OR FIELD OF BLOOD? The month of Elul is one of introspection and drawing closer to G-d. We would certainly hope that this reality would be reflected in the holiest spot on earth, the Temple Mount. Yet this year the Moslem month of Ramadan coincides with Elul, and a message of hate and incitement against Israel and disdain of the place of the House of G-d has hijacked the Mount.

By performing Torah commandments with joy, as prescribed in this week’s parasha, and expressing our thanks to G-d for all His blessings, we become keenly aware that G-d is with us in all our endeavors, the ultimate validation of our lives.

We have been bestowed with the ability to change. Whatever burden we have & created for ourselves, it will not crush us if we only remember that G-d helps us to shoulder our responsibilities the moment we determine to take steps toward realizing our true potential as His children.

Bat Melech – with Rena Richman
Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday.
Next Bat Melech: September 1, 2010 / Elul 22, 5770
Elul is a month that demands to be lived in every sense of the word. This is the month for recalibrating our souls, for being accountable to ourselves, and for becoming viable reflections of G-d’s presence in the world.

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!

“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?

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly 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.
