Parashat Yitro: The Absolute Oneness of Everything
Notes from a Kingdom of Priests: From Creation to Mount Sinai, It’s All Been Leading Up to this Moment
As we read parashat Yitro this week and relive the Sinai Revelation and the giving of the Torah, Temple Talk’s hosts Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman reflect on the amazing personality of Yitro, Moshe’s father-in-law, who turned in his PhD in paganism and decided to follow the One G-d of Israel. The Torah portion opens with the need for a proper judicial system… which our hosts bemoan as something sorely lacking from our society today. The basis for justice is the recognition of the total Oneness of G-d… something that all of Israel learned and personally witnessed in this week’s Torah portion. Plus: The Baking of the Showbread in the Holy Temple comes alive this week in Jerusalem! Tune in for an inspiring and informative edition of Temple Talk.

Israel Crossing the Sea of Reeds, and the State of Israel Today: The Courage to Believe in Ourselves
This week’s edition of Temple Talk is not for the faint-hearted, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the brutal murder of Daphne Meir and the nature of Palestinian terror… in the light of this week’s Torah reading of Parashat BeShalach, featuring the splitting of the sea and Israel’s song of praise as the nation crossed over on dry land. Our hosts compare the scene at the Sea of Reeds, as described by the sages of Israel in their inimitable poetic fashion, to the dilemmas of existential import that we are currently facing here in the State of Israel.

Building the Holy Temple the Authentic Jewish Way: From the Ground Up
This week, as Israel welcomes the new month of Shevat, we are reading the Torah portion of Bo, which brings the story of the plagues brought upon the ancient Egyptians – preparing the way for Israel’s exodus – to a dramatic conclusion. In this week’s rousing edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the twin themes of rebirth and the acquisition of Torah knowledge that characterize the month of Shevat, as well as the significance of the Passover offering for everyone… including Vegans! Our hosts also go off on a classic rant about the idea that the third Holy Temple will descend from Heaven. Plus: G-d made a mockery of Pharaoh, and He makes a mockery of today’s world leaders as well… tune in to this week’s Temple Talk for a tour de force, from Pharaoh to Hillary Clinton!

News Flash! Original Temple Mount Site Located!
Beginning the Book of Exodus: Long Day’s Journey into Exile
As we begin to read from the book of Exodus, this week’s Temple Talk features Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman pondering over the nature of the Egyptian exile – how it all began and what it means. Plus: Our hosts report on a ground-breaking court verdict regarding Jews and the Temple Mount… it is a positive step towards legitimizing Jewish worship, or will the police once again ignore the judge’s decision? We also get indignant about all the people – both those who are sincere and those who are clearly motivated by agendas – who think that the Jewish people ‘lost’ the location of the Holy Temple, and they have ‘discovered’ the true site! Is there any truth to that? Listen to our hosts explode over this issue on this week’s episode of Temple Talk.

The Meaning of a Fast Day
Connecting the Dots on the 10th of Tevet: Mourning the Holy Temple & Saying Kaddish for the Holocaust Victims
This week’s special edition of Temple Talk was recorded on the fast day of the Tenth of Tevet. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman contemplate the true nature of a fast day… especially the fast days that commemorate the destruction of the Holy Temple.
Our hosts also discuss the assassination of the arch-terrorist child-murderer Samir Kuntar and its implications for the likes of Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, who played a major role in the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich summer Olympics… and has been responsible for the death of many, many Jews since the signing of the Oslo Accords. Plus: Isis begins to murder children with Down’s syndrome: an Islamic view of reality.

Welcoming the Dark Days of Tevet: Anger Management
Israel’s ‘Disproportionate’ Response to Terror Attacks: The World Cannot Forgive Israel for Surviving
As we welcome the new month of Tevet, with its long and dark nights, in this week’s Torah portion of Vayigash, Yosef and his brothers welcome each other back into their lives in a grand reconciliation. The family’s unification, however, ultimately leads to Israel’s bondage and exile in Egypt. But it’s all part of a Divine plan. Tune in to this week’s edition of Temple Talk as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the confluence of the month of Tevet, with its subtle themes of self-awareness and Temple consciousness, the awesome, eternally-significant iconography of Yosef’s reconciliation with his brothers, and the unabated spate of terror attacks in Israel. Where does all this fit in with the story of our lives, and Israel’s seemingly-perpetual struggle for survival?
