Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 5
Mishnah 25
A man is not a complete entity without a wife. As the Rabbis say: Whoever does not have a wife is not an Adam (person), as it says: “On the day G-d created mankind. . .male and female He created them, and He blessed them and called their name Adam.”
A man’s physical growth is it at its peak at eighteen, and then it is time to grow in another dimension, by expanding his life to include another. This stage of life begins at eighteen and continues until twenty, when he is ready to provide leadership in the household.
It is noteworthy that eighteen is a quarter of man’s life span of seventy years. In this way our lives parallel the sun, which reaches the zenith of its strength at noon, after one quarter of its 24-hour cycle.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Bi-weekly series with new teachings available every second Thursday.
Next time on Light to the Nations:
To Be Announced
The holy Sukkahs that we build on our terraces and in our backyards each year are nothing more and nothing less than a temporary Holy Temple, filled with the light of the ein sof – the infinite light. This same light which fills our Sukkah was expressed during the seven days of Sukkot in the Holy Temple through the joyful music of the Water Libation Celebration, and the exuberant spontaneity of the music inspired prophecy among those who heard it.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 5
Mishnah 23 and 24
In metaphysical terms, we may say that things tend to eventually join with their like kind, as water flows to join water. Since the power and strength that underlie being brazen are qualities of fire, the fire of the brazen personality will by nature join the fire of Gehinnom.
In simpler terms, we may explain that the wicked act energetically to go outside the bounds of decent behavior. Hence, it is fitting that they will experience the unconstrained power of the fire of Gehinnom.
Being shamefaced is the opposite quality to being brazen. Such a person is passive and accommodating and hence belongs in the tranquil, stable repose of Gan Eden.
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
One Sukkah, Four Species, and the Seven Shepherds of Israel
Into the Sukkah, Into the Divine Embrace: Come In, I’ll Give You Shelter From the Storm
With the conclusion of Yom Kippur and the sealing of judgement, the joy of Tishrei increases as G-d calls upon His people Israel to enter into the Sukkah to spend some intimate time with Him. There in the Sukkah, enveloped in the Divine surrounding light, we will begin to format ourselves for the coming year, aided by the numerous beautiful commandments that we fulfill during this unique week. Join us for a special Temple Talk that focuses on the rich and colorful pattern of Tishrei which literally beckons us to be all we can be. Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman ponder the secrets of the Sukkah and the four species, and put the whole cycle of Divine time into practical perspective.

It is not the particulars of our lives which determine who we are, but how we serve G-d. Humility, dedication and sincerity bring us closer to HaShem. Quality, not quantity.
