Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
A Sneak Peak at Jim Long’s New Documentary, “Messiah Nation”
Elul and the Rumblings of War
The Secret Psychological War Against the Jews: Amalek and the Tactic of Nagging Self-Doubt
Famed Egyptologist, film maker, author of “Riddle of the Exodus,” noted Noahide Jim Long joins Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven in the studio this week for a lively discussion on the universal dimensions of Elul and the ramifications of the “King in the Field” for the whole world.
As the rumblings of war dominate the news in Israel and the shofar-blasts of Elul herald the war against the Evil Inclination, this week’s Torah portion of Ki Tetzei begins and ends with the concept of war: From the scenario of the “captive woman” to the attack of Amalek. What’s the connection between the beginning and the end? What is Amalek’s secret weapon, and how can Elul neutralize it? Tune in to this week’s Temple Talk for answers!

“For you go out to war against your enemies, and HaShem, your G*d, will deliver him into your hands…” (Deut. 21:10) Some wars are guaranteed victories, while others, (“If you go to war in your land against an adversary that oppresses you…” Numbers 10:9) threaten to be unmitigated disasters. What basic military doctrines is Torah teaching us, and what basic attributes of love for the land and faith in G*d are required of our leaders?

Torah provides a synthesis allowing us to balance and harmonize our internal and external selves, realizing the G-dly image in which we are created. (This show was originally aired on March 19th, 2008 – 12 Adar II 5768.)
The power of positive thinking: When we prepare for war, as described in this week’s parasha, or for any challenge in life, are we focused on the task before us? Are we transmitting positivity? The spiritual force field that we create around ourselves will effect our ability, and the abilities of others around us, to attain our goals.

G-d commands us not to be overwhelmed by our own mortality; not to diminish our physical selves in the realization of our own finiteness, but to find strength and comfort in His eternal embrace: “You are children of the L-rd, your G-d.” (Deut. 14:1)

Moshe prepares the people for entering the land of Israel. They will need to take up arms in order to conquer the land, and they will need to take up their plowshares in order to settle and cultivate the land. But ultimately, in order to set down roots both deep and unassailable, they will need to perform the commandments that G-d commanded them. The same is every bit as true today. It is Torah that weds us to the land of Israel.
