Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 3 Mishnah 10 & 11
We are told that Torah studies stay with a person whose study is based on the fear of HaShem and whose deeds exceed their knowledge. The phrase “fear of sin” is equivalent to the expression “fear of HaShem.” The fear referred to is the feeling that arises from stark recognition that we are utterly dependent on HaShem for our very existence.

In the desert each of the Israelite tribes was assigned a flag. What was the significance of the flags? What made them so important to G-d? What makes them so important to us today?

The Pilgrimage Experience
Torah lists twelve stones to be engraved and placed upon the breastplate of the High Priest. How are we to ascertain the true identity of each individual stone? Why even the most ancient of Jewish sources, the three Aramaic translations of Torah seem to disagree on which stones are to be used. And even the greatest Torah sages of old seem to be proposing different stones and even different sets of criteria for determining the stones. In this show, Rabbi Richman reveals why the Great Rambam could state with such unabashed aplomb that the identity of the stones as described by Torah are self-evident.

Chapter 3 Mishnah 8 & 9
In the study of Torah these steps are recommended:
- Full existence is found only with matters of sechel (intellect).
- Torah is sechel, and therefore Torah is referred to as “your life and the length of your days.”
- Things that inherently belong together do not separate from each other. For that reason, separating from something demonstrates opposition to it.
- Therefore, one who separates from Torah opposes life, and one who opposes life certainly places their life at risk.
G-d commands the children of Israel to observe the sabbatical year by letting the land of Israel rest. This act of sanctifying the land by placing our total faith in G-d, grants us the peace we so fervently desire.

The Priestly Garments – Part VIII
Torah lists twelve stones to be engraved and placed upon the breastplate of the High Priest. How are we to ascertain the true identity of each individual stone? Why even the most ancient of Jewish sources, the three Aramaic translations of Torah seem to disagree on which stones are to be used. And even the greatest Torah sages of old seem to be proposing different stones and even different sets of criteria for determining the stones. Yet the Great Rambam seems to take the identity of the stones for granted. How do we solve a two-thousand year old mystery?
