Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
Torah describes Noach as a tzaddik – righteous man, and tammim – pure. Yet, while he saved mankind on the physical level, he failed to pray on their behalf for their spiritual salvation. Our relationship with G-d has limitless potential. But it is up to us to pursue this relationship through prayer and actions in order to reach our full potentials.

Rabbi Chaim Richman and Temple Institute Director Yehudah Glick discuss the Hakhel events which the Temple Institute conducted during the first of the intermediary days of Sukkot, and the unprecedented response of the people of Israel who arrived from the four corners of the land by the hundreds and thousands to participate in the biblically commanded Hakhel ceremony and to ascend in reverence to the Temple Mount, where Torah verses were recited aloud to mark the Hakhel.
The Rabbi and Yehudah describe the spiritual awakening they were witness to and the growing reconnection of the Jewish nation with the Temple Mount, the holiest place on earth.

Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Tonna d’Vay Eliyahu Rabba 4 states Eliyahu, “At the time of Mashiach and in the World to Come, life will be without pain and without the Yatzer haRa. HaShem will give to the tzaddikim, their wives, and their servants their household needs… They will have no Yatzer haRa, as the verse (Ezekiel 36:26) proclaims, ‘I will give them a new heart, and a new spirit I will put in them, and I will remove the heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh…’ The “heart of stone” refers to the Yatzer haRa.”
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 195.
