This week features:
Tishrei Wrap-Up: Getting Both Feet on the Ground
Revisiting the Temple Mount, Our Spiritual Heart and National Center: No Fear
Join Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven as they have emerged from their elevated spiritual Sukkah cocoons and are back on dry land just in time to witness once again the creation of the world in this week’s parshat Bereshit! It seems that while we were busy basking for seven days in our well earned Sukkot rest and relaxation, after all our spiritual efforts of the past two months, G-d was even busier, creating the world! And what a perfect world it is, well, was… until man was created and things began to get complicated. But with the imperfections, G-d also blessed man with the tools to perfect himself and all of creation, as well.
The Sukkot holiday saw record numbers of devout Jews ascending the Temple Mount, the greatest number of all going up with Rabbi Richman on Isru Chag – the special quasi-festive day the follows the conclusion of Shmini Atzeret, (Simchat Torah). 59 Jews from Ranaana accompanied Rabbi Richman, and pledged to come again. The place of the Holy Temple is returning to the hearts and minds of the people of Israel, a crucial precondition for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple – soon in our days!

Step right into the sheer joy of being alive in G-d’s world, which is the theme of Sukkot and Simchat Torah.

Rosh HaShana and the Secret of the Breath of Life
The Anniversary of Creation’s Beginning & The Day Before: Back to the Future
Say good-bye to everything you’ve ever known, and step into a new dimension: the coming year of 5773, may it bring great blessing. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman prepare to receive the new light in this Rosh HaShana special edition of Temple Talk. First up: the special day of Elul 25, the first day of creation. How should we be spending that day? And why do we observe man’s birthday, Rosh HaShana, with the call of the shofar? It all goes back to the secret of the sound of the shofar and the breath of life. Man was the last thing to be created…way after the animals. We’re not animals, you know… that’s what Rosh HaShana is all about. But way back in 1965, Eric Burdon and The Animals had a hit with “I’m Just a Soul Whose Intentions are Good; O L-rd, Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.”
That’s the secret of the sound of the shofar! I’m just a soul whose intentions are good! Hashem, please don’t let me be misunderstood! Tune into Temple Talk for a Rosh HaShana primer that will change your life and get you ready for the upcoming High Holy Days.

This week features:
The Shame of Migron Through the Eyes of the Prophet Isaiah
Parashat Ki Tavo: If You’ve Got First Fruits, You Didn’t Make That Happen
Like the old song goes, “Thank G-d for every flower and each tree; thank G-d for all the mountains and the seas; thank G-d for giving life to you and me; wherever you may be, thank G-d.” Like the Temple pilgrim’s basket that holds his first fruits, thankfulness and acknowledgement of the Creator is the vessel that holds every blessing this world has to offer. In this week’s edition of Temple Talk for the Torah portion of Ki Tavo, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the many lessons expressed by the commandment to bring the first fruits up to the Holy Temple. From the first fruits of the first man to the final showdown with rotten-to-the-core Amalek, Ki Tavo is bringing it all back home – you come , too…

I Remember the Time You Told Me, ‘Love is Touching Souls’
Parashat Ki Teitzei: The Betrothed Woman in the Field Cries Out ‘Save Me!’
Rabbi Chaim Richman & Yitzchak Reuven take a not-at-all wistful look at Ramadan Woodstock and the week-after refuse on the Temple Mount. What is the difference between the longing of ahava – love – and the yearning of devekut – clinging? How is it that after two thousand years of exile we can say with complete sincerity that when it come to us Jews and the Temple Mount: We’ve never been apart! Yes, ma’am, they can thrash it and trash it, but the Mount remains a part of us – and that they cannot take away!

Temple Talk Sends a Special Message to Ahmadinejad
Israel’s Youth, Fearless and Proud, Ready to Take Back the Temple Mount
The month of Elul has arrived and the shofar is sounded on Temple Talk, signaling the time of repentance, introspection and preparation for the “reckoning and accounting” that we will be giving very shortly… In the meantime, the King is in the Field and it’s time to get real. In this week’s edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman talk about getting real on the individual, national and global level… from the courageous and dedicated Israeli youth who organized a protest this past week against ongoing Islamic desecration of the Temple Mount, to the issue on the tip of everyone’s tongue: the dance currently being performed by Israel and Iran. Inspired by the call of Elul, Rabbi Richman sends special warm and personal regards to Iranian President Ahmadinejad!

This week features:
The Cult of Death vs. the Celebration of Life
‘The Place that I Will Choose’ and the Choice Between Blessing and Curse
The last edition of Temple Talk for this closing month of Menachem Av focuses on the confluence of the headlines with the themes of this week’s Torah portion, parashat Re’eh. The Torah exhorts us to ‘see’ the difference between a life of blessing or conversely, that of curse. The choice, as usual, is ours… and we also choose our fate: how we succeed both as individuals and as a nation, how the other nations perceive us, whether or not we will be going to war – all is connected to the introduction we receive in this week’s parasha to “the Place that I will Choose.” Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman, together with all of Am Yisrael, also choose that place! Unfortunately, not only are Jews disallowed from praying there for fear of inciting the Muslims – but now even the immortal, historic words “The Temple Mount is in Our Hands” have been deemed illegal! Which way are we heading? Only the coming month of Elul, the special time of spiritual reckoning and re-calibration, knows for sure…
