In the desert each of the Israelite tribes was assigned a flag. What was the significance of the flags? What made them so important to G-d? What makes them so important to us today?

Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.

The Pilgrimage Experience
Torah lists twelve stones to be engraved and placed upon the breastplate of the High Priest. How are we to ascertain the true identity of each individual stone? Why even the most ancient of Jewish sources, the three Aramaic translations of Torah seem to disagree on which stones are to be used. And even the greatest Torah sages of old seem to be proposing different stones and even different sets of criteria for determining the stones. In this show, Rabbi Richman reveals why the Great Rambam could state with such unabashed aplomb that the identity of the stones as described by Torah are self-evident.
Dedication: This show is dedicated to Janet & Gary Shaw.

G-d commands the children of Israel to observe the sabbatical year by letting the land of Israel rest. This act of sanctifying the land by placing our total faith in G-d, grants us the peace we so fervently desire.

As a nation of priests, we are instructed to deal with the art of living, and not to be swept away by the debilitating illusion of death. All that G-d brings about in His world is pure kindness, even that which so troubles the soul.

The Priestly Garments – Part VII
The High Priest bears the names of the twelve tribes upon his heart and upon his shoulders. Why did G-d choose stones to embody the twelve sons of Israel, and for what reason does the High Priest bear their names as he performs the Divine service before the G-d of Israel?

A Call to Holiness: “You shall be holy for I, HaShem, your G-d, am holy.” (Lev. 19:1) A tall order, for sure, but G-d seems to think that we’re up for it. He calls upon and expects that each and every individual, as well as the entire assembly of Israel is capable of being holy and of leading holy lives. Being holy involves dedicating our entire souls and bodies to doing what’s good in G-d’s eyes, today and in this world.
