“Your curse be upon me, my son… “ (Genesis 27:13) What is really going on behind the scenes when Rivka convinces Yaakov to take on the outer visage of Esav, and receive the blessing from his father? It seems that Rivka is righting an ancient wrong.

Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.
Zilpah and Bilhah were not merely the maidservants of Leah and Rachel. They, too, were the matriarchs of the nation of Israel. But who were they? Are we able to make them out through the verses of Torah and the insights of our sages?
The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on November 25, 2009, (Kislev 8, 5770).
NOVEMBER IS HERE: Rabbi Chaim Richman and Rena Richman are currently making their way across Texas, New Mexico and Minnesota, meeting new friends and old, teaching Torah, and relating the latest events taking place in Israel, Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount, and how it all fits in to the vision of the prophets of Israel. The Rabbi and Rena are sharing news of the Temple Institute and of the steady progress toward the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, and with them are recently completed vessels for the Holy Temple, for all to see.
We look forward to seeing you!

The Test: At the binding of Yitzchak, Avraham accepted entirely G-d’s will. Being willing to sacrifice one’s own life for the sanctification of G-d’s name, is a deep and undeniable character trait of the people of Israel. But the true “test” is not only being willing to die for our beliefs, but being willing to live for G-d, and walk in the ways of His Torah.

843 years ago the Rambam, (Maimonides) ascended the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where he offered up prayer to the Creator of the Universe. Today, the mere mention of Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount causes the Moslems clerics to incite their followers to violence, igniting the Temple Mount.
Ascending the Temple Mount and showing reverence to to G-d in the place of His Holy Temple, is a positive commandment expressed in the Torah. Known in Hebrew as “mora haMikdash” this commandment is as applicable today as was in the Rambam’s day.
No amount of violence and naysaying can sever the eternal bond between the nation of Israel and the place G-d chose for His Holy House. Two thousand years of unbroken tradition have preserved the precise knowledge of the location of the Holy Temple, and the adjacent areas permissible to enter.
The Rambam possessed this knowledge. So do we.
Only one way exists today to preserve and strengthen our bond to the place of the Holy Temple: to ascend and to pray, as the Rambam did. Doing so will not create turmoil, but tranquility; not war, but peace.
Join us on the Mount.
