When we investigate the seven conditions we find none of them in any created being, but we find all of them in the Creator, May He be exalted.
He is compassionate toward His creatures, as it is written: “G-d is compassionate and gracious” (Tehillim 103:8); “And should not I have compassion for Nineveh, that great city” (Yonah 4:11).
he is not neglectful, as it is written: “Truly, the Guardian of Yisrael neither slumbers nor sleeps” (Tehillim 121:4).
He is all-knowing and invincible, as it is written: “Wise of heart and mighty in power — whoever stubbornly resisted Him and survived?” (Ivoy 9:4); “Yours, G_d, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty” (Divrei Ha-Yamim I, 29:11); “HaShem your G-d is in your midst, a Warrior Who brings victory” (Tzefanyah 3:17).
He alone governs man from the beginning of his existence and development, as it says: “Is He not your Father, Who created you? He made you and established you” (Devarim 32:6); “I have been supported by You from the womb; from my mother’s belly You removed me” (Tehillim 71:6); “Have You not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?” and so on, to the end of the chapter (Ivoy 10:10).

Among the benefits of trust in G-d in this world are the following: a heart at rest, free of worldly cares; a tranquil spirit, undisturbed and untroubled by lack of bodily gratification; a sense of calm, security, and peace. As it says, “Blessed is the man who trust in G-d; G-d will be his refuge. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream” (Yirmiyahu 17:7-8).
Another advantage is the soul’s release from the need to set out on long journeys, which consume the body and shortened one’s life as it says: “He weakened my strength on the way; He shortened my days” (Tehillim 102:24).

The more things change, the more they stay the same. There is nothing new about the double-speak and double standards, lies and deceptions that Bilaam intended to utter in an attempt to curse, defame and delegitimize Israel. The same tactics are being employed today for the same reasons: Hatred toward the G-d of Israel.
Balak (Numbers 22:2-25:9)

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Bilaam, Never Shake Thy Gory Locks at Me!
Parashat Balak: I Love the Jews, It’s the Zionists I Can’t Stand
It’s time for the Torah reading of parashat Balak, and that means that Temple Talk hosts Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman are holding a crash course in Antisemitism 101. The classic pattern set into motion by Bilaam, special advisor to Pharoah, has become a perpetual historic template which continues to this very day. Bilaam and Balak would have been proud permanent members of the UN Security Council… or they could be disguising themselves as any one of today’s world leaders. What fuels their venomous diatribe against Israel? Tune into this week’s edition of Temple Talk to find out.

He who trusts in G-d has peace of mind and tranquility of soul.
He who trusts in HaShem is not hindered in his trust by wealth, for he does not rely on his money. Rather, he regards it as a deposit which he has been commanded to use in certain ways and certain purposes, for a limited amount of time. If it stays at length in his possession, he does not, on its account, become arrogant. He does not remind the recipients of his charity of the kindness he rendered to them, for he was only performing his duty. He does not wish to be thanked and praised for his kindness, but thanks the Creator, may He be exalted, for having made him an agent of kindness. If he loses his money, he will not grieve or mourn of its absence. Rather, he thanks HaShem when the deposit is collected, just as he thanked Him when it was first given to him. He rejoices in his portion, does not seek to injury anyone, and does not covert anyone’s property, as the Wise Man said: “A righteous man eats only until he is satisfied” (Mishlei 13:25).

The Thin Red Line: Parashat Chukat describes so many seemingly unrelated events, yet it is the profound fundamental truth contained in the commandment of the red heifer – para aduma – that ties all these events so tightly together.
Chukat (Numbers 19:1-22:1)

This week features:
Moshe Strikes the Rock: There’s No Success Like Failure
Tammuz and Carly Simon: I Haven’t Got Time for the Pain
It’s cryin’ time again. It’s the month of Tammuz, and I’ll cry if I want to! That’s what we’ve been doing for the longest time. Everybody loves a good cry, but why is it so hard to stop crying and get moving? Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the weeping of Tammuz in this riveting episode of Temple Talk. Not a show for the weak-hearted.
This week’s Torah portion of parashat Chukat is replete with mystery between the lines; from the Red Heifer, to Moses striking the rock, to the well of Miriam, the common thread in this parashat Chukat is what’s not said. Our hosts delve deeply and expound upon this beautiful portion that testifies to the greatness of the Generation of the Desert…. and challenges us to continue where they left off.
