It’s the same old story, as old as Scripture. Only the names have been changed: Do whatever needs to be done, and say whatever needs to be said, in order to attain this single goal: Keep the Jews out of the land of Israel, where, G-d forbid, they made do some good in the world! What was true for Bilaam and Balak of yore is true for all the strange bedfellows of today, who join forces in an ever increasingly desperate attempt to stop Israel from reintroducing G-d’s immanence into the world.
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, Balak Obama and the Roots of Anti-Semitism
Bilaam, Balak, & the Jewish Question: What Exactly is the Anti-Semite’s Problem?
Exhausted but overjoyed to be back in the Land, Rabbi Richman joins his life-saver Yitzchak Reuven for a moving edition of Temple Talk that introduces the three-week period of mourning for the Holy Temple that begins next week with the fast of Tammuz 17. Our hosts insist that the people of Israel need to take the “u” out of “mourning” and begin a New Morning of Temple conciousness, reconciliation and most of all… rebuilding.
This week, the heathen prophet Bilaam and his pal, Moabite king Balak are on center stage as they seek to “drive Israel away from the land” (Num. 22:6). What did Israel ever do to them? For that matter, what did Israel ever do to Gunter Grass or Alice Walker? Tune in to this week’s Temple Talk for a startling, unapologetic insight into the true motivation of Israel hatred.

Rabbenu Bachya ibn Paquda’s “Duties of the Heart” is a powerful work that can help you attain a more uplifted state of mind than the one you were in before the reading. It is a book about inwardness and about one’s conception of G-d. It is about reflection and gratitude, trust and sincerity, discipline and love. It is a book about the inner life.

All three acts of Creation; to create, to form, to make; were involved in every creation, because everything has substance, form and a Divine aura. Scripture uses only one or two of the terms for each thing, as appropriated to its prominent characteristic. The human being exists fully at every level of creation, and so all three terms are used in the account of man’s creation: “And G-d said, Let us make man.” “And G-d created man.” “And HaShem. . .formed man.”

This week features:
The Sublime Mystery of the Red Heifer: Death is Not the End!
Cleaning the Filth of the Golden Calf and the Impurity of the Deceitful Serpent
The statute par excellence of the Torah, the Red Heifer is a bridge between life and death and life ever after. Yitzchak Reuven and guest co-host Tzvi Richman explore together the inexplicable depths of the Red Heifer, and are in sore need of the world’s foremost English language expert on the Red Heifer, when behold, a phone rings in the studio and on the other end of the line is our very own Rabbi Chaim Richman, who delivers piercing words of truth concerning the Red Heifer and the critical moment in history we find ourselves in as we move past crying over the loss of the Holy Temple to building anew the Holy Temple. Rabbi Yisrael Ariel of the Temple Institute was banned from the Temple Mount last week: Why? What are the police afraid of? Who is breathing down their necks? How do we respond? More Jews and more prayer and more song on the Temple Mount. There is only one way this movie is going to end: Prayer and song for all in the Holy Temple!

Going through all these things twice: The generation of the desert, like Adam, the first man, failed to appreciate the gifts that G-d gives us. Adam blamed the woman G-d gave him for his own eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, and the Israelites in the desert complained about the spiritually refined nourishment known as manna, with which G-d kept them fed for forty years. Is it any wonder that the evil-tongued snake made an appearance in both cases, here being used by G-d as an instrument to exact from Israel a price for their flagrant disregard?
