This week features:
Pharaoh & the 10 Plagues: What’s free will got to do with it?
The Myopic Pride Which Burns in Pharaoh’s Heart Proves to
be His Fatal Undoing
G-d and Moshe team up to put the screws to Pharaoh. If free will defines our humanity, then how could G-d harden Pharaoh’s heart, and divest him of his free will? Or was in necessary in order to impose justice in the world? Rabbi Richman has kicked off his speaking tour of America, and filling his ample shoes in the Temple Talk studio is his first-born son, Tzvi, a storehouse of Torah knowledge in his own right.
Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute is about to kick off his speaking tour of the United States, beginning on January 4th, in Odessa, Texas.
Rabbi Richman will be speaking in eight states. Please click here to see his complete schedule.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
Building the Temple, Part II
G-d commands and man fulfills. The long anticipated coming of the moshiach is not linked in any way to Israel’s obligation to build the Holy Temple, as explicitly commanded in Torah by G-d to the Jewish people. Nor is the popular notion that the Holy Temple will descend from heaven ready-built based in Torah or halachic reality.
This teaching was initially posted in October 2009. Rabbi Richman will not be recording new teachings until he returns from his upcoming trip to the USA.
Dedication: Sacred to the memory of Vendyl Jones.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Get Ready for the 10 Plagues: “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!”
Beginning the Long March from Exile & Servitude to Liberty & Redemption
Some people couldn’t see or feel G-d’s presence even if He came out and hit them over the head. Pharaoh, the absolute monarch of Egypt, is one of these people. In fact, it will take ten heavy hits to knock some recognition into Pharaoh’s head and his heart. Moses has been chosen to be the messenger, although he feels highly under-qualified. G-d, however, is determined that Moses will be the man who delivers Israel.
Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven express their sadness at the passing of Vendyl Jones, a passionate and compassionate spiritual giant of our generation. May his memory be for a blessing.
