Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 5
Mishnah 11
HaShem’s Name is identified with the Land of Yisra’el and hence those who dwell in the Land of Yisra’el can especially recognize that He is G-d.
The Land of Yisra’el is called a holy land.
The Land of Yisra’el is called the land of life. It is the center of the world in the sense that it is the central point that gives meaning to all other aspects of life.
Sabbatical year is unique to the holy Land of Yisra’el.
Dedicated to Marty and Pat Morrill

Next Show: Women of the Desert, Part 3
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.
TODA RABA / Thank You all so much!

Menachem Av: Father Knows Best & the Best is Yet to Be
Stop Your Sobbing Israel, Pick Yourself Up Off the Floor, The Still Small Voice Says Build!
It is the month of Av and the perennial housing shortage in Israel is once again making waves as protesters are taking to the streets. But this year’s righteously indignant ringleaders are the very same people representing the very same organizations that exactly six years ago orchestrated and applauded the forced homelessness of ten thousand Jewish souls from Gush Katif. Yes, these are the same folks that fight to destroy every Jewish house, kindergarten, synagogue or gazebo that a Jew, any Jew, dares to build in Judea and Samaria. Yes, these are the very same self-indulgent cadres that wage war against Jewish neighborhoods in the heart of Jerusalem. And yes, these are the very same hire political guns who DO NOT WANT TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR HASHEM! These would-be architects of a G-dless world possess a mixed-multitude of college degrees, but anyone who has taken Housing 101 knows that the root and the cause of all our housing ailments is in the fact that we still have not solved our Creator’s housing problem. The prophet Chaggai said it best: “Is it a proper time for you yourselves to sit in your ceiled houses, when this house is in ruins?” Tough words of rebuke, but uttered with love in our hearts!

The book of Deuteronomy opens with Moses’ rebuke of Israel: strong, yet couched in subtle and gentle terminology, in order to spare Israel embarrassment or discomfort, yet nevertheless impart an important teaching for the nation. Always read on the first Shabbat of the month of Menachem Av, (literally the “comforting father”), Moses’ words reflect the essence of the month of Av, a month of stern rebuke for Israel, but also a month which offers loving compassion and comfort for Israel by G-d.
Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22)
Parashat Devarim is read on Shabbat:

Next week on Light to the Nations:
The Temple Offerings, Part VI
The month of Tammuz has been marked for the past two thousand years of Jewish history by weeping and mourning for the Holy Temple. Is our mourning constructive, ultimately empowering us to rise up from off the floor and rebuild the Holy Temple, as our sages originally intended it to be, or have we fallen into the tragedy trap of mourning for the sake of mourning? Rabbi Richman explores the ancient world’s celebration of the cult of weeping, and Torah’s age old battle against the victory of defeat.
Dedication: Dedicated in celebration of Benjamin and Kaitlin’s marriage. Mazal tov!

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Chapter 5
Mishnah 11
Pestilence has two attributes. It comes forcefully and it destroys without regard to innocence or guilt. The forcefulness of pestilence makes it a fitting punishment for not enforcing the harsh decree of law. The fact that pestilence attacks without discrimination befits the transgression of Sabbatical year produce which should have been put into a place where anyone or anything could get it.
