Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 5
Mishnah 16 and 17
These are the precepts whose fruits a person enjoys in this world, but whose principles remains intact for him in the World to Come; . . . early attendance at the house of study morning and evening . . . and the study of Torah is equivalent to them all.
In this passage, attendance at the house of study is listed separately from the study of Torah because each has its own merit.
There is another reason why the reward for going to study is separate from the reward of the study itself. Going is a physical action, whereas study is an intellectual action, and because the two actions are inherently different they are rewarded independently.
As Moses continues to flesh out G-d’s plan for a Torah based society in the land of Israel, one thing becomes crystal clear: The Holy Temple from which shines forth the Divine presence, (Shechina), is the light and the source of justice – how we treat our fellow man, and worship – how we stand before G-d. We cannot achieve justice between men if we do not stand before G-d, and we cannot stand before G-d if we do not seek justice between men.

Preparing to Enter the Land of Israel: It’s a Vision Thing
Moses makes certain Israel possesses the keys she will need to make G-d’s plan a reality!
Open your eyes: Every one of our five sense must rise to the occasion as we prepare to enter the land of Israel and fulfill our purpose for being here! Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven discuss this week’s Torah reading of Re’eh. Moshe addressed the generation that was entering the land then, but his message of total commitment to the land of Israel and to the place that G-d shall choose for His Holy Presence – the Shechina – to dwell, applies to our generation more than ever.

As Moses prepares the nation to enter the land he stays focused on the one great challenge that lays before him and the people: To take a congregation of individuals and forge them into one mighty nation, united and dedicated to creating a Torah infused reality in the land of Israel.

Next Show: Women of the Desert, Part 4
The women of the desert and the feminine spiritual energy, strength and determination that they were able to tap into and channel enabled them to shepherd the entire generation out of the holocaust of Egypt, throughout the forty years of the wilderness experience, and ultimately into the land of Israel.
This lesson was originally recorded in Dallas, Texas, and is being presented on UTN in four parts.
Dedication: This show is dedicated to all the Noahides we met in Dallas.

Eikev: No Place Like Israel
The 9th to the 15th and the Changing Seasons: Making Our Way to Rosh HaShana
Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven talk about the passage of time and the changing seasons as the heartbreak of the 9th of Av is superseded by the renewed love of the 15th of Av; death in the desert is superseded by life in the holy land of Israel; and the wood offering takes its yearly pause, so that no rotten wood will be found in the Holy Temple.
