Temple Institute Shows
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
The UN, the Vatican, and the Eisav/Yishmael Alliance
The Nations are Angry: Building Jewish Houses in Israel is ‘Counterproductive’
Temple Talk is back! After a break of several weeks, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman join together again in Jerusalem in a brand-new, fast-moving, evocative and passion-filled episode of Temple Talk. Our hosts reflect on their experiences earlier this month at the Temple Institute’s 25th Anniversary Gala held in Dallas, TX, and review recent events in Israel and abroad through the prism of the current Torah readings. Connecting the dots, Yitzchak and the Rabbi move deftly between Yaakov’s confrontations with Eisav, Operation Pillar of Defense, recent United Nations obscenities and as usual, the vilification of Israel at the hands of the nations. Just as Yosef had to descend to Egypt to prepare for something big, it’s all part of the plan of Redemption!

Yaakov avinu’s (our forefather Jacob’s) midnight encounter with a mysterious angel: Who was this angel, what was his purpose, and by what name was he known? Yaakov overcomes the angel, and by doing so gains insight into all these questions. He also acquires for himself a new name, a new identity, and a new role to play in establishing the Divine presence here on this earth.
Vayishlach (Genesis 32:4-36:43)
Parashat Vayishlach is read on Shabbat:

Yaakov our patriarch laid his head down on the site of the altar upon which Yitzchak his father had been bound, and rose up with the knowledge that this was the very place from which Avraham had declared, “G-d will be seen.” This is the Temple Mount of today, and it is incumbent upon the children of Yaakov/Yisrael that the One True G-d is seen from this place.
Vayeitzei (Genesis 28:10-32:3)
Parashat Vayeitzei is read on Shabbat:
Kislev 10, 5773/November 24, 2012

The work of the patriarchs, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov was to establish in this world an eternal bond between man and G-d. Toldot chronicles the struggle for supremacy between two radically different approaches toward leadership: the way of Yaakov, and the way of Esav. Esav excelled in so many ways he seemed a natural for the part. And after all, he was the first-born. There was but one thing missing from Esav’s understanding of life: the fear and the acknowledgment of G-d. Forever stymied by his own egotistical take on life, Esav languished, while Yaakov assumed the mantle of leadership.
Toldot (Genesis 25:19-28:9)
Parashat Toldot is read on Shabbat:
Kislev 3, 5773/November17, 2012

Bat Melech – with Rena Richman
Rachav welcomed and conspired with the Israelite spies who were sent by Yehoshua to discover and report on the strengths and weaknesses of the city of Yericho. But why did they choose her residence to serve as the locale of their first foray into the land of Israel? Why did Rachav willingly offer her cooperation in the demise of her own people? This teaching was first shared and recorded in Texas, June 2012.
Dedication: Dedicated to Sun & Robert Brisky.
