This week features:
Making G-d’s Dream Come True
Yosef, Zot Chanukah, and the Rectification of Vision
Our sages teach that all the spiritual power and potential for growth that Chanukah brings, is packed into the last day of the holiday, known as ‘Zot Chanukah’. This week’s inspiring edition of Temple Talk focuses on the life-changing lessons of Chanukah for this generation… the generation that is closer than ever to the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. It’s all about transforming dreams into reality, fixing blurry vision, and recognizing our brothers… and each other. Join Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman as they passionately describe this week’s special Chanukah celebration, current events on the Temple Mount, Yosef and his brothers, and more.

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.

Chanukah: Making Miracles Happen
What is the source of the powerful light of Chanukah?
Reunited in Jerusalem after a break of several weeks, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman are back together for this week’s moving edition of Temple Talk. Our hosts present a Chanukah tour de force, including a revised definition of the nature of a miracle. What constitutes a miracle today, and what was the Chanukah miracle really all about? For a deeper, yet practical understanding, the perplexed need look no further than to our very own generation. This week’s Temple Talk provides a preview into an unprecedented and historic step towards the resumption of the service in the Holy Temple: the Temple Institute’s production of pure olive oil for the Temple menorah, created according to all the complex laws of Biblical purity. A modern-day Chanukah miracle!

The high drama of parashat Vayeshev comes to teach us two things, which are really only one: We must be ever ready to take upon ourselves the task that G-d has chosen for us, and our time on this earth is not for our own leisure, but to realize the role that G-d has intended for us.
Vayeshev (Genesis 37:1-40:23)

Yaakov avinu’s (our forefather Jacob’s) midnight encounter with a mysterious angel: Who was this angel, what was his purpose, and by what name was he known? Yaakov overcomes the angel, and by doing so gains insight into all these questions. He also acquires for himself a new name, a new identity, and a new role to play in establishing the Divine presence here on this earth.
Vayishlach (Genesis 32:4-36:43)

Avraham saw his appointed meeting place with G-d as a distant and foreboding mountain, (Mount Moriah), and Yitzchak envisioned the Holy Temple to be a field, accessible and alive. But it was Yaakov who understood the Holy Temple to be a home, a nurturing, loving center in which G-d and all mankind can embrace.

Yitzchak avinu (Isaac our patriarch) was a man of vision blinded by the light of G-d’s brilliant and hidden presence. He lived, he died, and he lived again to bless his son Yaakov, ‘ish tam,’ the perfectible man, with the task of bringing G-d’s light into the world for all to perceive.
