Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak

Above all things by a servant of G-d, that is: trust in G-d; for it is of great benefit in both religious and secular affairs.
Among its benefits to him in religious life is tranquillity of soul in reliance of G-d, may He be exalted, as the servant is bound to relay on his master. For if a person does not put his trust in g-d; and whoever trusts in what is other than G-d, G-d removes His providence from him and leaves him in the hands of whatever he trusted in. he becomes like those of hands of whatever he trusted in. he becomes like those of whom it is said: “Two evils have My people committed: they have forsaken Me, a freshwater spring to hew themselves cisterns, cracked cisterns” (Yirmiyahu 2:13); “They exchanged their Glory for the image of a bull that eats grass” (Tehillim 106:20).

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Korach, Tammuz and Us: Rewiring the Motherboard of Time
The Month of Tammuz Approaches: Now Ain’t the Time for Your Tears
Korach and his revolution figure prominently in this week’s edition of Temple Talk. Just what was this demagogue’s problem? It seems he decided that the Universe is just not big enough for him and G-d. There’s a lot of that going around, but Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman have zero tolerance for the Korachs of our generation. You say you want a revolution? Well, you know… you better free your mind instead.
The month of Tammuz is just around the corner, and the New Moon will usher in the new month this coming Shabbat and Sunday. Yitzchak Reuven announces the Temple Institute’s annual See and Say Only Good Things About the Land of Israel Month! It’s our part to play in the living Torah – fixing the sin of the spies which tainted these days of Tammuz, and helping to turn days of baseless crying into days of joy and rebuilding.

Korach was a brilliant man of exceptional abilities. But his I, Me, Mine philosophy of life literally drove him from this world. In truth, we make room for ourselves in G-d’s world by making room for others. This was the gift of Aharon, the High Priest. Korach’s attempt to acquire for himself the priesthood was doomed from the start.

This week features:
Parashat Shelach: We Won’t Get Fooled Again
The Sin of the Spies: Stopping the Cycle of Failure
A sobering Temple Talk is this week’s edition, as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman take umbrage at the debacle of the spies who returned from their mission in this week’s Torah portion of Shelach, and set the hearts of the people of Israel against entering the beloved and precious Promised Land. Modern-day spies may urge us to reject the Land of Israel, but we won’t get fooled again. Been there, wandering in that desert for forty years, done that: It’s time to fix that evil, and for us all to walk upright into the Land of Israel, and build the Holy Temple.

Our generation has been blessed by G-d with the unique opportunity to finally fulfill the spiritual potential of the Generation of the Desert, by fully embracing the Land of Israel. By settling the land and loving the land, and living in the land in accordance with Torah, and by building the Holy Temple, where G-d will rest His Holy Shechinah, we have the ability to rectify the sin of the spies, and put an end, at last, to the tears of exile and destruction. We have come home!

Serving HaShem with all of one’s qualities:
(Soul) I have understood what you have said and paid attention to all that you have mentioned. Now I plead with your honor to explain to me on what occasions I should make use of my commendable and contemptible qualities, so that my use of them on these occasions will win me praise and commendation for their proper employment.
(Mind) You possess many different qualities; I will speak briefly of those that occur to me. Two of your qualities are joy and grief, which are opposites. This is the way joy should be employed: When you secure enduring delight, in which there can be no sorrow and which is not subject to any mishap, you may release this quality. The way to use grief (is as follows): When something happens to you which is troubling and enduring, and which you can neither remove nor escape, you may release grief and make use of it.

I can be me for my sake, and suffer from a hunger that can never be satisfied. Or I can be me for G-d’s sake, and never lack fulfillment.
