The Thin Red Line: Parashat Chukat describes so many seemingly unrelated events, yet it is the profound fundamental truth contained in the commandment of the red heifer – para aduma – that ties all these events so tightly together.
Chukat (Numbers 19:1-22:1)

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Moshe Strikes the Rock: There’s No Success Like Failure
Tammuz and Carly Simon: I Haven’t Got Time for the Pain
It’s cryin’ time again. It’s the month of Tammuz, and I’ll cry if I want to! That’s what we’ve been doing for the longest time. Everybody loves a good cry, but why is it so hard to stop crying and get moving? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the weeping of Tammuz in this riveting episode of Temple Talk. Not a show for the weak-hearted.
This week’s Torah portion of parashat Chukat is replete with mystery between the lines; from the Red Heifer, to Moses striking the rock, to the well of Miriam, the common thread in this parashat Chukat is what’s not said. Our hosts delve deeply and expound upon this beautiful portion that testifies to the greatness of the Generation of the Desert…. and challenges us to continue where they left off.

This week features:
Korach, Tammuz and Us: Rewiring the Motherboard of Time
The Month of Tammuz Approaches: Now Ain’t the Time for Your Tears
Korach and his revolution figure prominently in this week’s edition of Temple Talk. Just what was this demagogue’s problem? It seems he decided that the Universe is just not big enough for him and G-d. There’s a lot of that going around, but Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman have zero tolerance for the Korachs of our generation. You say you want a revolution? Well, you know… you better free your mind instead.
The month of Tammuz is just around the corner, and the New Moon will usher in the new month this coming Shabbat and Sunday. Yitzchak Reuven announces the Temple Institute’s annual See and Say Only Good Things About the Land of Israel Month! It’s our part to play in the living Torah – fixing the sin of the spies which tainted these days of Tammuz, and helping to turn days of baseless crying into days of joy and rebuilding.

Korach was a brilliant man of exceptional abilities. But his I, Me, Mine philosophy of life literally drove him from this world. In truth, we make room for ourselves in G-d’s world by making room for others. This was the gift of Aharon, the High Priest. Korach’s attempt to acquire for himself the priesthood was doomed from the start.

This week features:
Parashat Shelach: We Won’t Get Fooled Again
The Sin of the Spies: Stopping the Cycle of Failure
A sobering Temple Talk is this week’s edition, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman take umbrage at the debacle of the spies who returned from their mission in this week’s Torah portion of Shelach, and set the hearts of the people of Israel against entering the beloved and precious Promised Land. Modern-day spies may urge us to reject the Land of Israel, but we won’t get fooled again. Been there, wandering in that desert for forty years, done that: It’s time to fix that evil, and for us all to walk upright into the Land of Israel, and build the Holy Temple.

Our generation has been blessed by G-d with the unique opportunity to finally fulfill the spiritual potential of the Generation of the Desert, by fully embracing the Land of Israel. By settling the land and loving the land, and living in the land in accordance with Torah, and by building the Holy Temple, where G-d will rest His Holy Shechinah, we have the ability to rectify the sin of the spies, and put an end, at last, to the tears of exile and destruction. We have come home!

I can be me for my sake, and suffer from a hunger that can never be satisfied. Or I can be me for G-d’s sake, and never lack fulfillment.
