Temple Institute Shows
Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.
Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday. The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on July 1, 2009, (Tammuz 9, 5769).
Michal, the daughter of Saul and the wife of King David, was a righteous woman, and despite her father’s violent antipathy toward her husband David, she proved to him a loyal wife. It was her great resemblance to her father, however, which proved her ultimate undoing.
In praise of women: They avoided the sin of the golden calf; they did not participate in the badmouthing of the land of Israel. And in parashat Korach, we learn how the wife of On ben Pelet prevented her husband from taking part in the rebellion of Korach and helped him to repent of his original intentions. Stand by your man? Stand by your woman!

On June 4, 2009, President Barack H. Obama delivered a speech in Cairo, Egypt, that contained a distorted view of the Jewish people’s historical ties to the land of their forefathers, the land of Israel.
This video is a response.
Twelve spies are sent to Israel to gather intelligence and report back to Moshe and the people. Knowing full well that the children of Israel would inherit the land of Israel due to the merit of the forefathers Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’akov, who received G-d’s promise, Calev ben Yefuneh made a detour to Hevron and the cave of the Machpelah, in order to pray and spiritually unite with the souls of the righteous patriarchs.

Scholarly Temple teaching meets head on with extremely current events: The Two Bezichin: With the two newly created golden frankincense vessels in hand, Rabbi Richman describes their use in the weekly avodah – service – of the twelve loaves of the showbread, which took place within the Kodesh Sanctuary of the Holy Temple. The miraculous nature of the showbread contains a spiritual message relevant to us all.

Remembering free food in Egypt: How could the children of Israel have eaten free food in Egypt, when, as slaves, they even had to provide for the raw materials for the very bricks that they were compelled to produce? It wasn’t the monetary value of the food that they were referring to, but the idea that they were free from responsibility, free from the “yoke” of Torah, the covenant of Sinai.
