This week features:
“And The Winner of This Year’s Amalek-Act-Alike Contest is… “
Recreating The Rarefied Eden Environment For All People In Our Time
As we read parashat Tetzaveh this week, the second of five consecutive weekly Torah readings dealing almost exclusively with the building of the Tabernacle, its sacred vessels and priestly garments, which conclude the book of Exodus, we receive yet another lesson in humility and brotherly love, prerequisites of the service in the Tabernacle/Holy Temple.
But while we are learning about unity of hearts and purpose these days, the generations old Amalek-Haman arch of evil is flourishing all around us. World leaders are stumbling over one another in a mad rush to claim the “Amalek in Our Day” title for themselves. There is no doubt that being deeply engrossed and focused on Torah commandments concerning the building of the Tabernacle and our own present-day drive to build the Holy Temple will grant us the strength and wisdom to defeat the renewed Persian effort to destroy Israel. Remember this Shabbat to “obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens. Do not forget.” (Deut 25:19)
Next week: Rabbi Richman returns!

This week features:
G-d to Israel: I’ll Let You Be in My World if I Can Be in Yours
Give or Take: Raising Up Our Hearts For G-d’s Sake
“And they shall make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell within them.” G-d’s commandment to Israel to build for Him a place to dwell in our world marks the beginning of the completion of creation. From this moment on the task of perfecting the world that G-d created for us, falls on our shoulders. In a world marred with hypocrisy and violence and disdain for the image of G-d in which we were created, building for G-d a Holy Temple in Jerusalem could just be a game changer.
With Rabbi Richman in the USA teaching Torah, it is up to Yitzchak Reuven to connect the dots and draw the lines which stretch all the way from from “In the beginning” to “take for Me an offering” to what is happening in the world today.and what we can do about it!

This week features:
Parashat Shekolim, Funding the Offerings, Fixing the Roads
The Temple Mount: Who Will Step In When the Hashemite Falls?
What a journey it’s been: The ten plagues, the midnight exodus from Egypt, the crossing of the Sea of Reeds, manna, Amalek, Mount Sinai, the Ten Commandments, lightning and thunder and now… how to deal with an ox that gores? Where is parashat Mishpatim, which deals extensively with legal matters between man and man, coming from, where is it leading us, and why does Torah place it here right in the midst of a chain of earth-shattering and heaven-shaking events defining forever the relationship between G-d and man?
While Rabbi Chaim Richman is in the USA preparing for a series of teachings, Yitzchak Reuven takes on the weekly Torah reading, the upcoming month of Adar and the current chaos tearing apart the Middle East. The Obama administration seeks to reap the benefits of the catastrophic meltdown by dancing with Iran to the tune of a Muslim bomb, but will Israel be ready to step in when Jordan’s Abdullah loses his grip on the Temple Mount?

The Groundhog Day/Tu B’Shevat Connection
Tu B’Shevat, Parashat Yitro and the Holy Temple: Being ‘Grounded’ in this World
Tu B’Shevat is here, and this week’s Temple Talk pays homage to the ‘New Year for Trees,’ as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman weave a remarkable thematic thread that links this time of deep spiritual renewal with this week’s Torah portion of Yitro. And of course, all roads lead to the Holy Temple, and our road traverses and arrives at the Temple Mount. This week’s program features unique, real-time analysis of recent developments on the Temple Mount. Plus, special guest Punxsutawney Phil provides rare insights on the existential implications of Groundhog Day…it’s all about the Inner Circle!

This week features:
Obama’s Netanyahu Problem
The Future of the Free World & a Bathtub Full of Fruit Loops
This week’s Temple Talk examines the word ‘maw,’ usually defined as ‘the jaws or throat of a voracious animal,’ but informally used as ‘the mouth or gullet of a greedy person.’ Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman are amazed that while the President of the United States of America refuses to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu because he is too busy, the POTUS does have time to meet with GloZell Green, a viral YouTube personality famous for sitting in a bathtub full of FruitLoops and cramming the cereal down her maw. Informally. But she certainly has a lot of views, and that’s all that matters! A world leader has the right to determine his priorities. In the meantime, the Free World continues to slip, senselessly and surreptitiously, into the insatiable, ravenous maw of Islam. But as Secretary of State Kerry says, “don’t blame Islam for the crimes of Islam! Let’s not lose our heads!” Anyway, as far as the world is concerned, it’s all Israel’s fault. All this on the backdrop of the Torah portion of Beshalach, in which the people of Israel, freed from Egypt, march through the Sea of Reeds on their way to destiny. Join the hosts of Temple Talk as they try to make sense of a world gone fruit loopy.

Revisiting the 10 Plagues
High Drama on the Stage of Humanity: Are You Getting This?
Was it Bob Dylan who sang, ‘Buckets of Rain, Buckets of Torah?’ Maybe not. But that’s exactly what the new month of Shevat is all about… during this month, the rains of winter ascend in the veins of the trees and bring renewal, climaxing on the holiday of Tu B’Shvat… and at the same time, the sweet and healing waters of Torah rain upon down us, as Moshe began to review the entire Torah before the Children of Israel beginning on the first day of the month of Shevat. In this week’s edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman share beautiful insights on the singularity of the month of Shevat, and its potential for personal growth. At the same time, as we read about the last three of the Ten Plagues in this week’s Torah portion of Bo, our hosts transpose the situation in ancient Egyptian onto our contemporary milieu, and ask aloud: Are we getting the message?
