Did you ever wonder just what G-d requires? “And now, Israel, what does HaShem your G-d require of you, but to fear HaShem your G-d, to walk in all His ways…” (Deuteronomy 10:12) The fear of G-d – the starting point for serving G-d.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
“Hear O Israel – the L-rd our G-d, the L-rd is one.” (Deuteronomy 6:4) This is the central article of Jewish faith and commitment. But how does one conduct oneself in such a way as to exemplify the totality of G-d’s oneness? We learn what declaring G-d’s unity is all about from Rabbi Akiva.

Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
The holy Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev teaches that on the Sabbath before the 9th of Av, (the day of fasting which commemorates the Holy Temple which was destroyed in the year 70 AD by the Romans), the Sabbath known as Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision, each and every Jew gains access to his own unique vision of the Holy Temple rebuilt! In this way, G-d inculcates us with heightened Temple consciousness, preparing us spiritually, intellectually and materially for the task of rebuilding the Holy Temple.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
As we conclude the book of Bemidbar (Numbers), we also conclude the saga of the generation of the desert. G-d created the world and vowed that He will destroy the world should the Jews not accept Torah. Having received and kept Torah, the Israelites, as exemplified by the tribes of Reuven, Menashe, and Gad, as well as the five orphaned daughters of Tzelaphechad, choose for themselves their inheritence in the land of Israel.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series of short messages concerning the weekly Torah Portion.
The tribes of Reuven, Gad and half the tribe of Menashe seem to have their priorities upside down, as they express concern for their livestock before their own offspring, omit G-d in their plans, and seem to spurn the land of Israel, choosing to settle east of the Jordan River. After receiving strong rebuke from Moses, they vow to join the struggle of their fellow tribes to realize their inheritances in the land, and by ultimately fulfilling their word, sanctify the land on which they settled.

Pinchas, acting out of great zealotry and seemingly harsh (gevurah – din) judgment, performed a great act of chesed – loving kindness – on behalf of the Israelite nation. Therefore, G-d rewarded him with His everlasting covenant of peace – shalom.
