The Creator has permitted you to use all of His advice for your physical well-being and for all the He has entrusted to you to do in this world in known ways and specific matters, namely, all the mitzvoth — those called for by the intellect, and those that are permitted.
He said to you, “Do not be fooled by all the things I have put into your hands and empowered you to make use of in this world. For they will add nothing to you essential being, nor will they distract from it; they will bring you neither delight nor suffering. They are only things that incidentally affect your body, external or internally. They are not essentials for you; their relation to you is like that of the placenta to the baby or the eggshell to the chick.

Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Parashat Beha’alotcha, Palestinian Mythology and Nazi Flags
Muhammad Al Dura & Paul McCartney Back From the Grave! Proof of Life After Death
As we continue to reflect upon the theme of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai which dominates this month of Sivan, the Land of Israel seems beset by enemies who gather at our very door. We are also confronted by the enemies within, who seek to uproot Israel’s connection to the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the entire Land. But there is a plan for Israel’s survival and indeed, for Israel’s radiant triumph, and much of that plan is foreshadowed in this week’s Torah portion of Beha’alotcha. As Israel travels through the desert towards the Promised Land, it is up to our generation to fix the mistakes of the Generation of the Desert, and interpret the Divine signals for moving forward towards destiny. Tune in to this week’s edition of Temple Talk as Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman examine events in the Land of Israel and the world in the light of this week’s Torah portion.

The assistants and attendants are the soul’s moods and qualities, such as happiness and anxiety, joy and sorrow, remembering and forgetting, wisdom and ignorance, courage and timidity, generosity and tightfistedness, righteousness and wickedness, shame and brazenness, hope and fear, love and hate, delight and suffering, pride and humility, prominence and lowliness, and many other similar traits, which you practice in your inner life.
The Creator, may He be exalted, commanded the gatekeepers, rulers, officers, servants, advisors, assistants, and attendants to listen to you and carry out your command until a certain time, except in extraordinary matters which He made clear to them when they were brought into association with you. These matters are the meaning of Divine compulsion and the place of predetermination.

Love is in the air as Israel stands at the foot of Mount Sinai, ready to receive Torah and betroth themselves to G-d, a wedding whose anniversary we celebrate this week on Shavuot. This week’s parasha, Naso, makes many a meaningful reference to the happenings at Mount Sinai.
Naso (Numbers 4:21-7:89)

Shavuot: From Barley to Bread, from Slavery to Freedom
Bringing the First Fruits on Shavuot: Getting Real in the Land of Israel
The awesome spiritual energy of the month of Sivan comes to a climax this week as we complete the seven-week period of counting the omer, and Israel observes the Festival of Shavuot, poised and ready to relive the Sinai Revelation experience. But Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman remind us that there’s more to Shavuot than staying up all night. In the days of the Holy Temple, there is a completely different emphasis: the bringing of the first fruits. What’s fruit got to do with Torah study? Well, that depends on if you mean the real Torah. Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for an insight into Shavuot, the great celebration of the Land of Israel. Plus: just who is shutting our mouths on the Temple Mount? The Knesset gets involved and the plot thickens.

G-d knows your name. He’s got your number. Torah is His to share with you. All its paths lead to Him. And all you’ve got to do is ask? No! All you’ve got to do is dedicate your every moment to living a life of Torah, and He will open each and every door. It’s your birthright. This is what we learn from parashat Bamidbar, the opening chapters of the book of Numbers, and this is the message of the holiday of Shavuot – coming up next week!
Bamidbar (Numbers 1:1-4:20)

From Jerusalem Day to Shavuout: A Lesson in Jewish Unity 101
As we prepare to usher in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers) which we will begin reading this Shabbat, this week’s edition of Temple Talk focuses on the observance of Jerusalem Day, which this year marks the 46th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman reflect on the amazing spiritual significance of this special day, and its connection, exactly one week later, to the festival of Shavuot, which commemorates Israel receiving the Torah at the Sinai Revelation. What’s the connection? Here’s a hint: One is not the loneliest number!
