This week features:
Training Kohanim & Bringing the Holy Temple Experience to the People
Counting the Omer: The Passover/Shavuot Continuum
Join Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven in this week’s edition of Temple Talk as they discuss the forty nine days of spiritual growth and maturation known as the Counting of the Omer (Sefirat HaOmer), which begins the day after the Passover Seder and leads up to and concludes with the holiday of Shavuot – the day of receiving Torah (every year anew!) at Sinai. Who wrote the Torah and why? Did G-d write Torah in order to convey His will to Israel and enable Israel to serve Him? Or does each and every one of us edit the Torah of Sinai, deleting here and pasting on there, in order to customize Torah, like we do a Facebook page so that it will reflect our likes and our desires, enabling G-d to serve us? The trap of unbridled individuality that snared Nadav and Avihu in last week’s (this week’s, in the diaspora) parashat Shmini, is waiting to trip us up today, if we don’t remember rule number one: “I am HaShem your G-d, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage” to serve Me! Not the other way around! Exposé: Even vegans and vegetarians are commanded to perform the Passover offering! Or else? Just ask the Jews who opted out of the korban Pesach in Egypt! Can’t? They’re not around no more? Hmmm… food for thought!

The Passover Offering: Parting of the Ways
Tu B’Shevat, Parashat Yitro and the Holy Temple: Being ‘Grounded’ in this World
This week’s edition of Temple Talk is a Passover primer on the most basic level, as our hosts discuss the centrality and eternal significance of the Korban Pesach, the Passover offering. Join Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman for a passionate, articulate and thoroughly moving analysis of the movement towards renewing the Passover offering in our time, the great strides made by the Temple Institute towards this goal, and the issues that divide the people of Israel when it comes to this important and controversial subject. And what’s the Passover offering got to do with the Iranian nuclear deal? Plenty! Here’s a hint… the secret sits in the middle and knows! Blessings for a joyous and kosher Passover from the Temple Institute in Jerusalem!

This week features:
Netanyahu, Obama, and the Passover Offering
With the glorious festival of Passover just one week away, this week’s inspiring edition of Temple Talk finds Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman focusing on the nation of Israel’s eternal responsibility to bring the Passover offering to the Holy Temple… or at the very least, to the Temple Mount. Without it, the festival is a pale reflection of its true self. How do we feel about this eternal covenant? At the same time, we continue to confront the timeless truths of the Divine service in the Torah readings of the book of Vayikra. It is nothing less than the identity and destiny of the people of Israel that is at stake… and indeed, in the wake of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s reelection victory, once again the very identity and destiny of the people of Israel seem to be under attack, as US President Obama gives expression to his personal resentment and dislike of Netanyahu. Is this a modern Passover story? Tune in to this week’s no hold barred edition of Temple Talk!

At the same time, the people of Israel turn another page this week, as we begin to read the book of Vayikra in our weekly Torah reading cycle. Is there a common theme that connects between all these events? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman sure think so, and share their remarkable insights, as well as hopes and aspirations for Israel’s future, on this week’s edition of Temple Talk.

Parashat Para & the Restoration of Purity
Jerusalem Police: “Israeli Law Doesn’t Apply to Temple Mount;” No Intention of Enforcing Recent Court Ruling in Favor of Jewish Prayer
This week, the people of Israel will read the final two Torah portions of the book of Exodus, Vayahkel-Pekudei, and as Exodus draws to a close, congregants will recite aloud the traditional “Be Strong, Be Strong, and Let Us Be Strengthened” which marks the conclusion of each of the five books of Moshe. This Shabbat is also the third ‘special Sabbath’ that precedes Passover: Shabbat Para, the Sabbath of the Red Heifer, which is marked by the special Torah reading of Numbers 19. In this week’s edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman unravel the thread that connects these Torah portions with the Red Heifer and the events currently unfolding on the Temple Mount. It’s all about the will power and desire of the people of Israel to make G-d’s dream come true. There were no excuses when it came to building the tabernacle in the desert; what’s our excuse today? Indeed, don’t miss this week’s Temple Talk, which resounds with the message “Be strong, be strong, and let us be strengthened!”
