News Flash! Original Temple Mount Site Located!
Beginning the Book of Exodus: Long Day’s Journey into Exile
As we begin to read from the book of Exodus, this week’s Temple Talk features Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman pondering over the nature of the Egyptian exile – how it all began and what it means. Plus: Our hosts report on a ground-breaking court verdict regarding Jews and the Temple Mount… it is a positive step towards legitimizing Jewish worship, or will the police once again ignore the judge’s decision? We also get indignant about all the people – both those who are sincere and those who are clearly motivated by agendas – who think that the Jewish people ‘lost’ the location of the Holy Temple, and they have ‘discovered’ the true site! Is there any truth to that? Listen to our hosts explode over this issue on this week’s episode of Temple Talk.

The righteous Yosef was the right person in the right place at the right time. Not only did he masterfully negotiate all the setbacks and challenges that came his way, and not only did he rise to a position of power and leadership in Egypt, saving not only Egypt, but all of humanity from a deadly famine, but his adherence to modest behavior and speech, and his love for his father and loyalty to his brothers would prove to be the road-map to surviving and ultimately emerging victorious from the approaching exile.

The Meaning of a Fast Day
Connecting the Dots on the 10th of Tevet: Mourning the Holy Temple & Saying Kaddish for the Holocaust Victims
This week’s special edition of Temple Talk was recorded on the fast day of the Tenth of Tevet. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman contemplate the true nature of a fast day… especially the fast days that commemorate the destruction of the Holy Temple.
Our hosts also discuss the assassination of the arch-terrorist child-murderer Samir Kuntar and its implications for the likes of Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, who played a major role in the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich summer Olympics… and has been responsible for the death of many, many Jews since the signing of the Oslo Accords. Plus: Isis begins to murder children with Down’s syndrome: an Islamic view of reality.

The most compelling story ever told, the saga of Yosef and his brothers spans the generations. Its drama, its pathos and its tenderness not only speak to us, but it speaks about us. The story of estrangement and reunion, of coming clean and making amends is our story. “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers also to dwell together!” (Psalms 133:1)

The Chanukah connection: One Dream, One G-d, One Truth: How a young Hebrew, sold into slavery by his brothers, thought to be dead by his father, and thrown into prison a thousand miles from home, alone and unknown, was able to rise to the top of the Pharaonic ladder in Egypt, liberate the powerful potentate from the bondage of his own societal mindset, rescue the world from famine and reunite with his father and brothers.

Welcoming the Dark Days of Tevet: Anger Management
Israel’s ‘Disproportionate’ Response to Terror Attacks: The World Cannot Forgive Israel for Surviving
As we welcome the new month of Tevet, with its long and dark nights, in this week’s Torah portion of Vayigash, Yosef and his brothers welcome each other back into their lives in a grand reconciliation. The family’s unification, however, ultimately leads to Israel’s bondage and exile in Egypt. But it’s all part of a Divine plan. Tune in to this week’s edition of Temple Talk as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the confluence of the month of Tevet, with its subtle themes of self-awareness and Temple consciousness, the awesome, eternally-significant iconography of Yosef’s reconciliation with his brothers, and the unabated spate of terror attacks in Israel. Where does all this fit in with the story of our lives, and Israel’s seemingly-perpetual struggle for survival?
