Temple Institute Shows
Who was Pinchas? Where did he come from? What was he made of? Was his act of zealotry a true “Jewish” reaction? Was his ability to act in the moment to defend G-d’s honor, to assuage G-d’s anger a true “Jewish” reaction? Absolutely!

Avigail, Wife of David: One of the seven female prophets, Avigail’s quick wit and unwavering morality were essential in shaping David, the man and future king.
The power of speech differentiates man from all of creation. And with the power of speech comes the power to bring good into the world and sanctify creation, or to bring evil into the world, and denigrate creation. Moshe used speech to achieve the former. Bila’am, the heathen prophet, used speech to achieve the latter.

Holiness in this World: Maimonides’ Hilchot Beit HaBechirah – Laws of the Chosen House, chapter VII: The Holy of Holies, the holiest place on earth: What is holiness? How can we become holy? Can a place or time be imbued with sanctity? Torah teaches us an emphatic yes to all these questions. And the soul/time/space nexus where the holiest moment of the year, (Yom Kippur), and the holiest spot on earth , (the Holy of Holies), and the individual who represents the holiest possibility of man, (the Kohen Gadol – High Priest), meet and merge together is nothing less than the entire purpose of creation.

In this age of instant access to endless information, we are tempted to try to know everything! Is curiosity necessarily a good thing, or is it sometimes, as our sages suggest, an offshoot of arrogance?
True wisdom is in the acknowledgment that there are things that lie beyond our intellectual grasp. This wisdom is the portal to purity.
