People Get Ready! The Third Annual Int’l. Temple Mount Awareness Day is Coming!
The Book of Exodus draws to a close this week with the reading of the double portion of Vayahkel-Pekudei. So much detail! What’s the point of it all today? Fully half of this book has been completely focused on building a home for G-d in this world, and this week we read of the Tabernacle’s dedication and establishment on the first day of Nisan – just in time for the month of Nisan, coming right around the corner! That’s why this week is also the “special Sabbath” of the Red Heifer – time to prepare the entire nation of Israel to purify themselves for the Passover pilgrimage experience.
The Third Annual Temple Mount Awareness Day six hour live-stream video happening is just around the corner, too. Iit will take place on Sunday, March 25th, and this week’s edition of Temple Talk gives a sneak preview into what will surely be one of this year’s greatest Temple-centered events!

The Bright Light of Purim: Looking for G-d – and Finding Him!
The search for Purim’s subtle essence lights up a special edition of Temple Talk
“I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes,” Bob Dylan sang in “Positively Fourth Street” back in 1965. It took 47 years, but Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman have done just that on this week’s award-winning Temple Talk Purim Special. Utilizing advanced technology, they switch identities for this program, and are able to see each other clearly for the first time! How apropos for Purim, since this holy day – and indeed, the entire month of Adar – is all about seeing what can’t be seen with ordinary vision. Tune into this week’s edition of Temple Talk, with the joyous reunion of our co-hosts, for a show where fun, laughter and Torah never stop.

Raising our Hearts and Hands to Build A House For G-d
It’s All Our World And G-d Wants In – He Wants to be in Our Neighborhood
Join Yitzchak Reuven and special guest host, Tzvi Richman in this week’s Temple Talk as they discuss the nuts and bolts of building a house, a Tabernacle, a Holy Temple for G-d, as spelled out in this week’s Torah reading of Parashat Terumah. No Torah portion better captures the purpose and mission of the Temple Institute than Parashat Terumah, and there is no better occasion than now to exhort and encourage all who wish to live in a world with G-d, to lend your hands and hearts and support our efforts. How do we build a house of wood and skins and stone for a G-d who transcends all creation? What is the subtle subtext of love and unity that informs G-d’s call for universal involvement and the detailed descriptions of the Tabernacle and its vessels that follow?
Announcing this year’s upcoming 3rd Annual International Temple Mount Awareness Day 6 Hour Live Online Video Streaming Happening – March 25th!

Reality Check: Putting Our House In Order Before We Build A House For G-d
If We Heard G-d’s Voice At Sinai We Are Free. If We Heard But Did Not Listen We Are Destined To Be Slaves
Join Yitzchak Reuven and special guest host, Tzvi Richman in this week’s Temple Talk as they try to define that undefinable energy-charged place where heaven meets earth. How does the building of an earthen altar mark the perfect transition from the revelation at Mount Sinai to the civil ordinances discussed in parashat Mishpatim? Is the altar itself a mini-Sinai? It’s hard to believe, but there were people who stood at Mount Sinai, witnessed the fire and the smoke, saw the sounds of the shofar, and heard G-d’s voice with their own ears, but still didn’t get what it was all about. G-d offers us freedom, but we must release ourselves from our own self-imposed bonds in order to attain it.

This week features:
Rabbi Nachman Kahana on the Land of Israel: A Love Story
Who is Ready to Leave the Exile and Come Home to Israel? Only Those in Love…
It’s parashat Yitro this week, which features the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and Tu B’Shevat, the New Year of Trees and holiday of renewal also falls out this week. What a perfect confluence! The challenge of the Torah is for us to be constantly renewed. But old habits and patterns are hard to break. When Hashem delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt, an awful lot of Jews stayed behind – in fact, the vast majority. Why? They thought they had good reasons for not wanting to come to the Land of Israel. Unfortunately, today as well, there are voices raised against the Land of Israel. How should we respond? Join us for a special edition of Temple Talk that you will never forget. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman host a special guest, the beloved and highly esteemed Torah scholar and author Rabbi Nachman Kahana. Rabbi Kahana opens up a little window into his 50 years of life in Israel; his family, his IDF experiences, his insights into every day life in Israel for five decades. He leaves us breathless, joyously moved, and in wide-eyed wonderment over what it really means to be in love with the Land of Israel.

This week features:
Secrets of Shevat: Buckets of Torah, Buckets of Rain
One-Fifth of Israel Poised to Cross the Sea: Has Anything Changed?
“You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your heritage…” – from Parashat Beshalach, The Song of the Sea
It’s the month of Shevat, and rains of blessing are falling in the Land of Israel. But rain isn’t the only water that’s pouring down on us… the “water” of Torah is pouring down as well, and this is the time to let those healing waters into our consciousness, and redouble our Torah study. This week’s edition of Temple Talk explains the connection between the renewal of Shevat, and the special element of the renewal and appreciation of Torah study that this month affords us.
This Shabbat is the “Sabbath of Song,” called so because we read the Torah portion of Beshalach, featuring the famed “Az Yashir,” the Song of the Sea. What really happened at the Sea of Reeds? Why does the verse record that only one-fifth of Israel left Egypt? As ever, our hosts’ most important question is: What has this got to do with our lives today? Tune in to this week’s Temple Talk to find out.
