Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
When the Yetzer harah gives up hope of seducing you in various ways, it will try to do so in regard to reward and punishment. First, it will try to make you doubt reward and punishment in this world. It will say, “If [reward and punishment] were meted out in just fashion, the wicked would not prosper, and the righteous would not suffer affliction,” a claim that has been mentioned previously, in the Fourth Gate teaching.
But when the intellect reveals to you the ways of justice in both these cases, as already mentioned in the Gate of Trust in G-d, this doubt will disappear, and your heart will be relieved of its confusion.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Building the Holy Temple with Unconditional Love
Israel Fights for Its Existence As A Tsunami of Jew Hatred Floods the World
The final Torah portion in the book of Numbers, parashat Masei, reviews the desert journeys of the Children of Israel that led up to their entrance into the Promised Land. It also includes the positive commandment to settle the land, and delineates the borders of the Land of Israel. In this week’s edition of Temple Talk, our hosts find that the timing of this parasha against the backdrop of Operation Protective Edge – and the ensuing reaction of worldwide antisemitic frenzy – couldn’t be more appropriate. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman look out at the world from Eretz Yisrael, and surmise that while the rest of the world is sinking into the abyss, the nation of Israel that dwells within the Land has surpassed itself in the purest unconditional love… just what we need to fix the month of Tammuz and begin the rebuilding of the Holy Temple! Warning: if you suffer from an allergy to the truth, this show may be hazardous to your health.

When the leaders of the tribes of Reuven and Gad approach Moshe and ask his blessing to settle in the lands east of the Jordan River, Moshe is aghast. He saw a great spiritual failing on the part of Reuven and Gad whose relationship and commitment to the land of Israel was apparently so conditional. What was it that Moshe detected in Reuven and Gad’s request that so troubled him, and what changed for Moshe so that in the end he agreed to their settling east of the Jordan.

The Battle for the Soul of Israel
To Force the Moment to its Crisis: The Cease-fire and Lessons of Tammuz 17
As Israel observes the Fast of Tammuz 17th, commemorating the breach in Jerusalem’s walls and the beginning of the annual three week period of national mourning for the Holy Temple, this week’s edition of Temple Talk takes a look at the relevance and message of this day in our time, especially against the backdrop of over 1,000 rockets that have thus far been launched against Israel, and operation “Protective Edge” being waged against the Hamas terrorists. This week’s Torah portion of parashat Matot has a lot to teach us about why – and for whom – Israel goes out to battle.
Note: This show was recorded during the short-lived cease-fire between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas.

The war begun by Balak and Bilaam against Israel is still being waged today. This is the war against the Jewish family, the soul and source of Israel’s strength. Balak and Bilaam conspired to entrap Israel with idol worship and licentiousness. Today, Israel’s enemies kidnap her children and fire missiles into her towns and villages. Parashat Pinchas contains three responses to the war against the Jewish family: The zealotry of Pinchas, the love of the land of Tzelaphchad’s daughters and the increased sanctity and closeness to G-d engendered by the Shabbat and holiday Musaf (additional) offerings in the Holy Temple.

This week features:
Israel at War?
The Absurdity of Israeli/Palestinian Moral Equivalency
As Israel goes to war against the murderous terrorist organization Hamas, and “Israeli Arabs” riot, pillage and destroy, this week’s Temple Talk finds our hosts connecting the dots and making sense of the mayhem. What does Torah teach us about the sanctity of life? What does Islam teach us about the worship of death? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman strongly condemn the murder of an Arab boy – and take extreme umbrage with those who compare Israeli and Muslim society. Despite its flaws, the State of Israel remains the one ray of hope in a world gone mad. Tune into this week’s powerful edition of Temple Talk to find out what is really happening in Israel today.

Three times the heathen prophet Bilaam tried to curse Israel and three times he blessed Israel. Three times Bilaam tried to employ his dark arts against Israel and three times his words bespoke the purity of Israel. Three times Bilaam tried to destroy Israel and three times his words revealed the secret of Israel’s eternal life.
We have just buried three pure souls, three young Jews, Eyal, Naftali and Gilad, stolen and murdered by vile Muslim terrorists, who sought to break and crush and destroy Israel. These three pure souls who embody the very best in Israel, will live forever, three beacons revealing the strength and unity of Israel, the victory of good over evil.
