This week features:

Special Guest Appearance by the Legendary Avraham Fried!

First Fruits and the Torah of Earthiness: A Down-To-Earth Shavuot Primer

Don't Cry - Build“Take my tears!”  sings the legendary Jewish singer and entertainer, Avraham Fried. He’s referring to a plea to G-d, to use our tears to build the Third Holy Temple. Wait a minute… am I hearing you right? What Torah is this written in? What planet are we on? Well, as another great Jewish singer and entertainer sings, “People are crazy and times are strange.”  In this week’s uncut, unprecedented, uncensored Shavuot edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman, together with all of Israel, prepare to receive the Torah anew at Mount Sinai. But our hosts ask: Just what is the Torah we will be receiving? And how will it change us? And how will it change the world? And just what does it mean to be a Jew? “Take the rags away from your face, now ain’t the time for your tears”  sings our favorite perennial Jewish poet. Tune into this week’s explosive, exclusive and unchained all-time special Temple Talk… but it will cost you. Be prepared to accept responsibility. Be prepared to hear the truth.

Parashat Bechukotei and Rabbi Akiva’s Vision of Consolation

The Word From G-d, and It’s Not Politically Correct: Galut is Death, Period

Jerusalem DayThe Book of Leviticus concludes this week with parashat Bechukotei, a Torah portion that features beautiful words of idyllic blessing guaranteeing Israel’s future when she but heeds her covenant with the Al-mighty. Conversely, harsh words of admonition describe the nation’s fate if she turns her back on G-d and puts her faith in “happenstance;” that leads to exile, tantamount to death itself. But Whoa! Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman conclude that it is up to Israel to turn the woe into whoa! and simply get with the program, in tune with the flow of all creation. No wonder this Torah portion, which hinges upon our realization of G-d’s hand upon us at all times and under all circumstances, leads us right up to the joyous celebration of Jerusalem Day, 5772, a day which reveals great Divine providence and G-d’s protection, even as He brings us out of the exile and back home to the Land of Israel. This week’s edition of Temple Talk is one for the Hall of Fame!

How will we hide our faces in shame when we come to the next world empty handed! The situation has not been this bad since the day that the Torah was given on Mount Sinai.
Furthermore, the earlier generations fulfilled the Torah from conditions of great financial duress and under oppression from the nations. Today, we sit tranquilly in our houses, and when a matter of halachah arises, or halachic decisions need to be rendered, we search every nook and cranny to find relevant references. We search through topics until we find what we are looking for, or something close to it, and then proudly invoke the Rabbinical dictum: “Believe one who says: I labored and I found.”

The Return of Prophecy

Just as our foot fits in our shoe, so too, our soul fits into our body. A poorly kept shoe will lead to a a painful and swollen foot. Likewise concerning our physical beings and our soul. But if we conduct our lives properly and with modesty, our soul can flourish within our bodies.

Gleaning the FieldIn one more week, Jewish communities in the Diaspora will realign themselves with their counterparts in the Land of Israel, and all will once again be reading the same Torah portion. In the meantime, this week’s Temple Talk finds Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman discovering a precious Torah insight in the portion of Emor, regarding the unique agricultural commandments of the gifts to the poor that are left in the field. Also, in this week’s Torah portion of Behar  (read in the Land of Israel), the penultimate Torah portion of the book of Leviticus, we are introduced to G-d’s love affair with the Land of Israel through the commandments of the Sabbatical and Jubilee year cycles. Why does this concept suddenly appear in sefer Vayikra, and what’s it got to do with Mount Sinai? Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for some fascinating answers!

Each person was created with a unique aptitude which surfaces in the perception of Torah. Since Torah includes all of these personal view-points, if one omits the name of the person whose opinion he states, he has altered the Torah.
On a more practical level, on may explain the requirements to “repeat a saying in the name of the one who said it” as being careful not to gloss over or change any detail of his studies.

In article 30 we read how “Beloved” includes being beloved to G-d as well as beloved to people. Clearly, if one is not beloved to G-d, G-d will not give him His Torah and share with him His wisdom.
One is beloved for the pleasing things he does for another. One makes G-d “happy,” not for what he does, but for what he is. One who is of fine and pleasant character makes G-d happy that He created such a being, and he makes people happy to have him as part of the community. Being close to people and to G-d is reflected by the Torah being close to him, and hence he receives Torah readily.

This week features:

Pesach Sheni: Defeating the Confusion and Doubt of Amalek

Shining Like the Menorah in Parashat Emor: A Recipe for Living with G-d

Time and SpaceWho believes in second chances? Evidently, Hashem does! That’s why He applauded the initiative of those individuals from the Children of Israel who could not bring the Passover offering on its appointed date, and established the “minor” festival of the Second Passover, which comes out this year this Sunday, May 6th. Those people just wouldn’t be denied the opportunity of proving their mettle and coming close to G-d, which is exactly how we feel about the State of Israel! However, as in this week’s Torah portion of Emor, there will always be those who blaspheme, and doubt that G-d even cares about this world – the worst blasphemy of all. Tune into this week’s Temple Talk as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman connect the dots and find a Divine recipe for living life to its fullest in this week’s Torah portion!

Physical indulgence counters the acquisition of wisdom. However, the expression “limited pleasure” implies that some pleasure is acceptable.

Although the Rabbis extolled the virtue of a life of “bread and salt” in Baraita 4, the benefit arises only if the deprivations are necessary in order to learn Torah and only if there is no other alternative. There is no benefit to be had if he can continue to learn without giving up normal comforts. On the other hand, he should avoid extra phyiscl pleasures, for that goes against the nature of Torah, and that is the practice of limited pleasure.
