The Holy Temple and the Secret of the Sanctity of Life: Bless the Beasts and the Children
This week the people of Israel begin the book of Vayikra, Leviticus, which deals primarily with the widely-misunderstood concept of the Temple offerings.

The Tabernacle and the Rectification of Creation
The Real Purim Story: The International Conspiracy Against the Holy Temple Continues
The Month of Adar is here… again! This week we will be observing Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon of the Second Adar, and that means that Purim is just around the corner. This week’s fast-moving edition of Temple Talk, coinciding with the conclusion of the book of Exodus and the completion of the Tabernacle, focuses on what Purim is really all about… the Holy Temple. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman find fascinating parallels between the geopolitical reality of the days of ancient Shushan, and the conspiratorial machinations of today’s leaders. Whether we’re talking ancient Persia, modern Iran, or Washington, D.C., only the names have changed… the facts remain the same.

With the month of Adar II just around the corner, this Shabbat is the first of the four ‘special Sabbaths’ that precede Passover, featuring a special Torah reading.

This week’s rousing edition of Temple Talk focuses on this and many other aspects of Holy Temple consciousness, especially in the light of this week’s Torah portion of Vayakhel. Our hosts discuss the important difference between the Tabernacle and the Temple, and connect the dots to current developments on the Temple Mount, and Israel’s message for the world. A timely program in honor of Vice President Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to Israel, with a message for him that’s not to be missed!
