Temple Talk
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Korach, Tammuz and Us: Rewiring the Motherboard of Time
The Month of Tammuz Approaches: Now Ain’t the Time for Your Tears
Korach and his revolution figure prominently in this week’s edition of Temple Talk. Just what was this demagogue’s problem? It seems he decided that the Universe is just not big enough for him and G-d. There’s a lot of that going around, but Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman have zero tolerance for the Korachs of our generation. You say you want a revolution? Well, you know… you better free your mind instead.
The month of Tammuz is just around the corner, and the New Moon will usher in the new month this coming Shabbat and Sunday. Yitzchak Reuven announces the Temple Institute’s annual See and Say Only Good Things About the Land of Israel Month! It’s our part to play in the living Torah – fixing the sin of the spies which tainted these days of Tammuz, and helping to turn days of baseless crying into days of joy and rebuilding.

This week features:
Parashat Shelach: We Won’t Get Fooled Again
The Sin of the Spies: Stopping the Cycle of Failure
A sobering Temple Talk is this week’s edition, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman take umbrage at the debacle of the spies who returned from their mission in this week’s Torah portion of Shelach, and set the hearts of the people of Israel against entering the beloved and precious Promised Land. Modern-day spies may urge us to reject the Land of Israel, but we won’t get fooled again. Been there, wandering in that desert for forty years, done that: It’s time to fix that evil, and for us all to walk upright into the Land of Israel, and build the Holy Temple.

This week features:
Parashat Beha’alotcha, Palestinian Mythology and Nazi Flags
Muhammad Al Dura & Paul McCartney Back From the Grave! Proof of Life After Death
As we continue to reflect upon the theme of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai which dominates this month of Sivan, the Land of Israel seems beset by enemies who gather at our very door. We are also confronted by the enemies within, who seek to uproot Israel’s connection to the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the entire Land. But there is a plan for Israel’s survival and indeed, for Israel’s radiant triumph, and much of that plan is foreshadowed in this week’s Torah portion of Beha’alotcha. As Israel travels through the desert towards the Promised Land, it is up to our generation to fix the mistakes of the Generation of the Desert, and interpret the Divine signals for moving forward towards destiny. Tune in to this week’s edition of Temple Talk as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman examine events in the Land of Israel and the world in the light of this week’s Torah portion.

This week features:
Shavuot: From Barley to Bread, from Slavery to Freedom
Bringing the First Fruits on Shavuot: Getting Real in the Land of Israel
The awesome spiritual energy of the month of Sivan comes to a climax this week as we complete the seven-week period of counting the omer, and Israel observes the Festival of Shavuot, poised and ready to relive the Sinai Revelation experience. But Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman remind us that there’s more to Shavuot than staying up all night. In the days of the Holy Temple, there is a completely different emphasis: the bringing of the first fruits. What’s fruit got to do with Torah study? Well, that depends on if you mean the real Torah. Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for an insight into Shavuot, the great celebration of the Land of Israel. Plus: just who is shutting our mouths on the Temple Mount? The Knesset gets involved and the plot thickens.

The Flags of Jerusalem Day and the Flags of Mount Sinai
From Jerusalem Day to Shavuout: A Lesson in Jewish Unity 101
As we prepare to usher in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers) which we will begin reading this Shabbat, this week’s edition of Temple Talk focuses on the observance of Jerusalem Day, which this year marks the 46th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman reflect on the amazing spiritual significance of this special day, and its connection, exactly one week later, to the festival of Shavuot, which commemorates Israel receiving the Torah at the Sinai Revelation. What’s the connection? Here’s a hint: One is not the loneliest number!

This week features:
The Admonitions of Bechukotei: Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Netanyahu Bans Feiglin from the Temple Mount: A Tale from the Twilight Zone
Just as our hosts were recording this week’s edition of Temple Talk, coinciding with the harsh words of admonition in this week’s second Torah portion of Bechukotei, those words seem to come true, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman received the terrible news of the murder of Evyatar Borovsky, 32 year old father of 5, by a Palestinian terrorist just recently released from an Israeli jail. How long will our righteous, beautiful and holy Jews continued to be slain before our eyes? Perhaps until we, as a nation, really begin not only to perform G-d’s commandments, but to ‘listen’ to His voice as well…
Just one week before Jerusalem Day, the very day that celebrates the reunification of our city and Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem, Knesset member Moshe Feiglin was banned from visiting the Temple Mount by no less than Prime Minister Netanyahu himself. Was the Prime Minister a bit overstepping his bounds? Legal? Illegal? Twilight zone material? Tune into this week’s Temple Talk as we explore the far reaches of the Temple Mount.
