Temple Institute Shows
Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.
The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on March 11, 2009, (Adar 15, 5769 – Shushan Purim).
Now in the month of Adar, less than two weeks away from Purim, Rena turns up the heat in Part III of a four part series in which she discusses the historical and spiritual background to the events which take place in the Scroll of Esther, and the integral part played by Esther in the salvation of the people of Israel and the rebuilding of the Holy Temple.
Bat Melech teachings are now available in mp3 audio files, can also be subscribed to in iTunes.
“They shall make an ark of acacia wood…” (Exodus 25:10) Aron HaBrit – The Ark of the Covenant – performs no function in the Divine service, and is approached but once a year when the Kohen Gadol – the High Priest – enters the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement. It is the one Temple vessel that actually serves as a permanent receptacle – holding the Tablets of the Law. Yet of all the vessels described in the Torah reading of Terumah, the Ark of the Covenant remains the most compelling to the imagination. From the Ark emanates the supernal light of Torah and a reflection in this world of the perfected world and the pure light of the Garden of Eden.

Maimonides’ Laws of the Chosen House, chapter 7: The Rambam delineates the manner of behavior required upon visiting the site of the Holy Temple, and how it was expressed by the kohanim, (priests), Levites and Israelite notables during the time of the Holy Temple. Showing proper reverence for G-d, whose house is found upon the Temple Mount, is a positive commandment of Torah, which can be fulfilled even today, when the Holy Temple is presently not standing.

The Hebrew slave who demurs on freedom and chooses servitude has his ear pierced against the doorpost. G-d opens many doors for us as we march forward toward our own destiny. As free men we are to pass through those doors, not become affixed to them.
