Our lives are made up of spiritual trials and journeys. Just as the Ark of the Covenant traveled with Israel in her journeys in the wilderness, so does G-d accompany us always in our spiritual journeys.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 3 Mishnah 12 ‘n 13
We learned in the preceding two mishnayot that HaShem fulfills our alacrity search for wisdom in response to our fear of sin and in response to our good deeds. The reason is that HaShem is so closely bound to people that He responds to our initiative. Our Mishnah continues with yet another consequence of this connection between man and HaShem: When people are pleased with someone, HaShem favors them as well.
“Treat His will as if it were your own will, so that He will treat your will as if it were His will” (Avot 2:4)
Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
Shavuot
Spending the day of Shavuot immersed in the study of Torah, as is our custom today, is but a distant remembrance of the way Shavuot was observed in the time of the Holy Temple when we immersed ourselves in the reality of Torah as it is manifested in the very land of Israel, via the first fruits – the Bikurim.
Dedication: This show is dedicated in honor of Didi Connerty’s birthday. Happy Birthday!

The case of the sotah – the woman accused by her husband of infidelity, has its parallel on the national level when Israel’s faithfulness has been tested by G-d. The historic exile of Israel which is coming to a close in our days, also embodies the ceremony conducted in the Holy Temple testing whether the covenant has been honored or whether it has been defiled.

Next week on Light to the Nations:
Shavuot
The pilgrimage experience combined a sublime sense of expectation with an all-embracing feeling of total trust in HaShem, as Temple-goers left their farms and fields and made their way to Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. The festival of Shavuot, which celebrates the land of Israel and commemorates the receiving of Torah at Sinai epitomizes the total pilgrimage experience. Filmed at the southern wall of the Temple Mount.
Dedication: This show is dedicated to Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Humble.

Bat Melech – with Rena Richman
Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday.
Next Bat Melech: May 28, 2010 / Sivan 15, 5770
Shavuot and the entire month of Sivan offer us the opportunity to take stock of our spiritual well-being. Our spiritual maturity, like the first-fruits we bring to the Holy Temple on Shavuot, is the end result of a long and careful process of preparation.
Dedication:This show is dedicated to Mrs. Cherrie R. Shackelford & family.
When Israel liberated the Temple Mount on June 7th, 1967, the prophetic clock began ticking anew. The place where King David and his son Solomon first built the Holy Temple is back in the hands of their descendants. Come what may, the Holy Temple will be rebuilt!
