“They say that vanity got the best of him…” Korach had it all: He was brilliant, well educated, a smooth talker, well versed in the art of communication. He was an aristocrat, a Levite whose privilege it was to bear the Ark of the Covenant across the desert. He was wealthy and well respected. He had it all but he wanted more. His “I, Me, Mine” attitude gave G-d no choice, as it were, but to put him out of His world. The earth opened up and swallowed him whole. Always seeking the limelight, “he sure left here in style.”
Korach (Numbers 16:1-18:32)

News Flash: A Red Heifer for the Third Temple?
Dedicated to the Three Boys Who Have United the Hearts of All of Israel
This week we read the Torah portion of Parashat Korach which details the controversy of Korach and his rebellion against Moshe’s authority. And while the story of Korach is the very epitome of disunity amongst the Jewish people, in reality the very opposite is the case this week, as all of Israel unites as one man, suffering as one man, outraged and praying as one man, for the safe return of our three children, Eyal Yifrach, Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Sha’ar, who have been kidnapped by enemies of Israel. This week’s Temple Talk is dedicated to these three boys.

Twelve righteous men are sent to “spy” on the land of Israel. Ten return with an evil report, slandering the land of Israel. What went wrong? Narrow and short-sighted self-interest? Or was there a fundamental misunderstanding of Torah and G-d’s expectations of man in this world? Our generation today has been granted by G-d the opportunity to repair the devastating damage of the evil report and bring His light into the world.

Exclusive Interview: A Righteous Gentile Visits the Temple Mount
Parashat Shelach & the Sin of the Spies: Loving the Land of Israel Special!
Last week we received the Torah anew on the holiday of Shavuot, and we’re all inspired and raring to go. But along comes this week’s Torah portion, Shelach, and once again its that time of year again… we cringe over the ten spies’ evil report against the Land of Israel, and the terrible consequences of their actions: the decree of Tisha B’Av which ultimately lead to the destruction of the Holy Temple, and every subsequent Jewish tragedy. Does history have to repeat itself? Can we fix this glitch in the matrix by embracing the Land of Israel with unconditional love? On this week’s stellar edition of Temple Talk, here sit Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman somewhat impatiently, waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of, going through all these things twice. Our hosts are joined in the studio by special guests, the Davis family, straight from the heart of Texas, who take the mics for the show’s second half, and present a passionate and compelling telling of their tight connection to the Temple Mount, and the Land of Israel. A classic Temple Talk!

Intimately connected to the land of Israel, Shavuot is the festival of the bringing of the first-fruits to the Holy Temple. Shavuot is also the anniversary of the Sinai revelation and the receiving of Torah by Israel, and since the destruction of the Holy Temple the emphasis of Shavuot has been Torah study. Ultimately, Torah study and the bringing of the first-fruits are both expressions of the centrality of Torah in our lives. When we build the Holy Temple we best exemplify the fulfillment of Torah in this world by the bringing of the first-fruits.

Shavuot, First Fruits, & the Land of Israel: Receiving the Real Torah at Last
Finally! After seven weeks of counting, and intense, soulful preparations, the nation of Israel is poised to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai on the glorious festival of Shavuot. But what does it really mean, to “receive the Torah?” This week’s edition of Temple Talk finds Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman reflecting on what a commitment to Torah really means. How does Torah observance effect our lives? How was Shavuot celebrated and observed in the days when the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem? Our hosts share insights, inspiration and enthusiasm for the upcoming Festival of Weeks, and well as thrilling news and information on Temple Mount developments, on this week’s Shavuot edition of Temple Talk.

The Pope, The Mufti, And Other Great Men Of Peace
Rabbi Akiva’s Laughter And The Temple Mount Today: A Jerusalem Day Primer
Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman join the entire nation of Israel in celebrating the joyous holiday of Jerusalem Day, marking the 47th anniversary of the holy city’s liberation and reunification. The holiness and eternity of Jerusalem emanates from the Temple Mount, its very heart. This week, Pope Francis visited Israel and stopped off at the Temple Mount, where he embraced the Mufti of Jerusalem, the very same Mufti who has repeatedly called for the annihilation of the Jews.
This week’s Temple Talk presents an honest, straightforward and very politically incorrect summary of the Pope’s visit and what it was really all about. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman totally unplugged! Not a show for the faint-hearted.
