The sublime beauty, limitless embrace and unifying power of the Tabernacle, and later the Holy Temple, are all contained within the first sacred vessel Israel was commanded to build: the Ark of the Covenant. Just 2.5 cubits long, 1.5 cubits wide, and 1.5 cubits high, made of acacia wood and gold, and constructed by the hands of man, the Ark nevertheless managed to straddle the expanse between our finite world and our endless source.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
G-d to Israel: I’ll Let You Be in My World if I Can Be in Yours
Give or Take: Raising Up Our Hearts For G-d’s Sake
“And they shall make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell within them.” G-d’s commandment to Israel to build for Him a place to dwell in our world marks the beginning of the completion of creation. From this moment on the task of perfecting the world that G-d created for us, falls on our shoulders. In a world marred with hypocrisy and violence and disdain for the image of G-d in which we were created, building for G-d a Holy Temple in Jerusalem could just be a game changer.
With Rabbi Richman in the USA teaching Torah, it is up to Yitzchak Reuven to connect the dots and draw the lines which stretch all the way from from “In the beginning” to “take for Me an offering” to what is happening in the world today.and what we can do about it!

Circle around G-d: Celebrate, honor and sanctify life by making Him your center. This is the message of Torah from Sinai, from the simplest of commandments to the joyful observance of the three pilgrimage festivals.

This week features:
Parashat Shekolim, Funding the Offerings, Fixing the Roads
The Temple Mount: Who Will Step In When the Hashemite Falls?
What a journey it’s been: The ten plagues, the midnight exodus from Egypt, the crossing of the Sea of Reeds, manna, Amalek, Mount Sinai, the Ten Commandments, lightning and thunder and now… how to deal with an ox that gores? Where is parashat Mishpatim, which deals extensively with legal matters between man and man, coming from, where is it leading us, and why does Torah place it here right in the midst of a chain of earth-shattering and heaven-shaking events defining forever the relationship between G-d and man?
While Rabbi Chaim Richman is in the USA preparing for a series of teachings, Yitzchak Reuven takes on the weekly Torah reading, the upcoming month of Adar and the current chaos tearing apart the Middle East. The Obama administration seeks to reap the benefits of the catastrophic meltdown by dancing with Iran to the tune of a Muslim bomb, but will Israel be ready to step in when Jordan’s Abdullah loses his grip on the Temple Mount?

“I am HaShem your G-d.” The first of the Ten Commandments instructs us to seek out G-d in our world. One such seeker was Yitro, a former idolater who overcame his doubts and recognized the one G-d, earning him the privilege of being forever associated with the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.

The Groundhog Day/Tu B’Shevat Connection
Tu B’Shevat, Parashat Yitro and the Holy Temple: Being ‘Grounded’ in this World
Tu B’Shevat is here, and this week’s Temple Talk pays homage to the ‘New Year for Trees,’ as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman weave a remarkable thematic thread that links this time of deep spiritual renewal with this week’s Torah portion of Yitro. And of course, all roads lead to the Holy Temple, and our road traverses and arrives at the Temple Mount. This week’s program features unique, real-time analysis of recent developments on the Temple Mount. Plus, special guest Punxsutawney Phil provides rare insights on the existential implications of Groundhog Day…it’s all about the Inner Circle!

The crossing of the Sea of Reeds on dry land celebrated by the children of Israel in the Song of the Sea, was not just a passage from slavery to freedom, it was a passage from the past to an ever approaching future. It was a revelation shared by all the children of Israel, a premonition and prophecy and proof of the future resurrection of the dead.
Beshalach (Exodus 13:17-17:16)
Parashat Beshalach is read on Shabbat:
