Temple Talk
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
The Eyes of Hashem Your G-d are Always Upon the Land of Israel
The Eternal Message of Tu B’Av: Get Up Out of Your Graves and Start to Live!
The music is back on Temple Talk. This week’s parashat Eikev tells us of the unparalleled perfection of the Land of Israel, as Menachem Av, the month of the consoling father enters into its second half, bringing with it healing, light and the eternal love of G-d’s promises of consolation to Israel. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the paradigm shift of this month “from mourning to dance” (Psalms 30), and discover some of the eternal messages of Tu B’Av, the ‘minor’ holiday of the fifteenth day of this month, which was a major festival in Temple times and today, intuitively, has become a day of celebrating love in Israel, even as the day beckons the soon rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Our hosts reveal that there is much more to Tu B’Av than dating, love and marriage… the day conveys no less than the secret of the return of prophecy to Israel, and its power shines for the rest of the year!

Mourning and Gladness in the Month of Av
Locked Out of the Temple Mount on Tisha B’Av: This is Why We Mourn
This especially poignant, heartfelt and unforgettable edition of Temple Talk was recorded on the morning of Tisha B’Av, just hours after Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman, together with hundreds of other Jews, were denied the right to ascend the Temple Mount on this most significant day. Our hosts, in the midst of their fasting, share their feelings and insights – ranging from hurt and frustration, to consolation and hope… an expression of the very fabric of the Jewish experience, quintessentially conveyed by the month of Av. Joining them in the studio is Mrs. Rena Richman, who shares her thoughts about today’s experience at the gates of the Temple Mount.

This week features:
The Sabbath of Vision and the Sweet Rebuke of Moshe Rabbeinu
Exclusive Sneak Peek Behind the Story and Filming of “The Children are Ready”
In the midst of the heat of the month of Menachem Av, as the solemn day of Tisha B’Av draws near, this week we begin to read the book of Devarim. Moshe Rabbeinu gathers the entire nation of Israel and begins to review the entire Torah for them, a task that will take up the last 5 weeks of his life. But he begins his words in this week’s Torah portion with a “coded” rebuke. Why the code? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman discuss the concept of rebuke and how it might be applied to our generation on this week’s Temple Talk. This Shabbat is also called “The Sabbath of Vision,” since everyone receives a “vision” of the rebuilt Holy Temple. But can we see clearly, or does smoke get in our eyes? This program also features an extensive, behind-the-scenes look at the production of the Temple Institute’s new video, “Tisha B’Av 2013: The Children are Ready II.” This week’s edition of Temple Talk is an experience you will not want to miss!

This week features:
The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side of the Jordan
Things Better Left Unsaid Dept.: The Unmentionable Innuendo of John Kerry
Got Flocks? In this week’s concluding Torah portions, Reuven, Gad, and half of Menashe have plenty of livestock, and are envious of the green grass in the Transjordan. Their flocks take precedence over their children. But their worldview was based on misplaced priorities. This week’s Temple Talk takes umbrage with these tribes’ spiritual heirs – those who place their material possessions over the fate of their children. Yitzhak Reuven and Rabbi Richman deliver a passionate overview of our generation’s entrance into the Land of Israel. Plus: John Kerry, wherefore art thou? While we appreciate your hairdo, have you noticed that the world is crumbling into an abyss of decadence and destruction? Yet as always, Israel remains the intransigent troublemaker.
Plus: Stay tuned for the world premiere of the Temple Institute’s all new video production, “The Children are Ready – Tisha b’Av 5773” which will be available for viewing on Sunday, July 7th. A sequel to last year’s highly successful “The Children are Ready” which has over 400,000 views, this year’s Tisha b’Av video message is even more amazing!

This week features:
Pillars of Cloud and Fire, But I’m Just a Natural Man
The Indescribable Joy of Mourning for the Temple and the Jewish Problem
It has begun. The Seventeenth of Tammuz has launched the annual cycle of mourning over the loss of the Holy Temple. But where is it taking us? With even more than their usual sang froid, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman present a concise and analytic review of the Three Weeks of mourning, in which they bemoan the bemoaning. Make no mistake about it: This program focuses on one verse, (Zech. 8:19) “This is what the Hashem Al-mighty says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Love truth and peace” … and asks, OK, now what? How will that verse be fulfilled? Our hosts also explain why this week’s Torah portion of parashat Pinchas is the perfect companion to this time of year. The message is resoundingly positive and you won’t want to miss it!

This week features:
Bilaam, Never Shake Thy Gory Locks at Me!
Parashat Balak: I Love the Jews, It’s the Zionists I Can’t Stand
It’s time for the Torah reading of parashat Balak, and that means that Temple Talk hosts Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman are holding a crash course in Antisemitism 101. The classic pattern set into motion by Bilaam, special advisor to Pharoah, has become a perpetual historic template which continues to this very day. Bilaam and Balak would have been proud permanent members of the UN Security Council… or they could be disguising themselves as any one of today’s world leaders. What fuels their venomous diatribe against Israel? Tune into this week’s edition of Temple Talk to find out.

This week features:
Moshe Strikes the Rock: There’s No Success Like Failure
Tammuz and Carly Simon: I Haven’t Got Time for the Pain
It’s cryin’ time again. It’s the month of Tammuz, and I’ll cry if I want to! That’s what we’ve been doing for the longest time. Everybody loves a good cry, but why is it so hard to stop crying and get moving? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the weeping of Tammuz in this riveting episode of Temple Talk. Not a show for the weak-hearted.
This week’s Torah portion of parashat Chukat is replete with mystery between the lines; from the Red Heifer, to Moses striking the rock, to the well of Miriam, the common thread in this parashat Chukat is what’s not said. Our hosts delve deeply and expound upon this beautiful portion that testifies to the greatness of the Generation of the Desert…. and challenges us to continue where they left off.
