Israel’s desert experience, as described throughout the book of Numbers, is a reality created by G-d in which He tends to their every need, but at the same time teaches them how to take responsibility for themselves as individuals and also as a nation. When they shy away or shirk their responsibility, G-d rebukes them. In this manner they are being prepared to enter into the land of Israel where they will assume their role in bringing the entire world closer to G-d and His Torah.

The Temple Offerings, Part IV
The pilgrimage experience combined a sublime sense of expectation with an all-embracing feeling of total trust in HaShem, as Temple-goers left their farms and fields and made their way to Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. The festival of Shavuot, which celebrates the land of Israel and commemorates the receiving of Torah at Sinai epitomizes the total pilgrimage experience. Filmed at the southern wall of the Temple Mount. Recast from one year ago.
Dedication: Dedicated to Yaakov Spitz. Happy Birthday!

Be of this world! That’s what Torah demands of us. While allowing for the nazirite experience within a limited time-frame, the essential message of Torah is to immerse ourselves in this world and to sanctify this world. This is the true purpose of man.

Jerusalem – the heart and soul of the nation of Israel, the heart and soul of the world. It was 44 years ago today that the Israel Defense Forces liberated Jerusalem and reunited the city. Today, despite all the forces of evil set against her, Jerusalem is growing, ever expanding to accommodate all her children, all those who place their trust in the One G-d of Israel.

Parashat Naso: Fidelity & the Land of Israel
Jerusalem Day 2011: More Now Than Ever the Challenge of Our Generation
The world wants to wrest Jerusalem from the hands and the heart of the nation of Israel, but we will never let that happen. Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven reflect upon the day, forty four years ago, in which the prophetic clock began ticking anew as G-d and Israel fulfilled their long before planned rendezvous and met and embraced once again in the united city of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

Next on Bat Melech: The Story of Ruth: Part III: June 1, 2011
Ruth, the story of the Moabite princess who attached herself to the Jewish nation and the G-d of Israel, is traditionally read in synagogues on the upcoming festival of Shavuoth. Rena Richman reveals fascinating midrashic insights into the historical background of the story, focusing on the unique personalities of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz. These three individuals together create the foundations of the Davidic dynasty. We will be reposting this 4 part series over the upcoming weeks, leading up to the Shavuot celebration.
