A Call to Holiness: “You shall be holy for I, HaShem, your G-d, am holy.” (Lev. 19:1) A tall order, for sure, but G-d seems to think that we’re up for it. He calls upon and expects that each and every individual, as well as the entire assembly of Israel is capable of being holy and of leading holy lives. Being holy involves dedicating our entire souls and bodies to doing what’s good in G-d’s eyes, today and in this world.

The Priestly Garments – Part V: The Inner Meaning of the Stones, Part II
The High Priest bears the names of the twelve tribes upon his heart and upon his shoulders. Why did G-d choose stones to embody the twelve sons of Israel, and for what reason does the High Priest bear their names as he performs the Divine service before the G-d of Israel?

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 3 Mishnah 4b
Torah elevates a mundane table to be the table of the King. Torah is higher than the heavens and hence it is not in the category of, “The heavens are the heavens of HaShem.” Therefore, the table at which Torah is said HaShem’s table and those present are privileged, as His servants, to partake of the King’s table.
When our body aches we know it is telling us something. What if our body could warn us as to a spiritual transgression on our part? Tzara’at, often, but incorrectly translated as leprosy, was a spiritual affliction contracted by the Israelites in the desert when their social behavior betrayed a coarsening of their spirit. Thus warned, they could mend their ways, and return to their people.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
The Priestly Garments, Part IV
The splitting of the Sea of Reeds is known as G-d’s great miracle performed on behalf of the children of Israel, but it is also the defining moment of our courage and faith in G-d, and trust in ourselves. Crossing over from one side to the other in pursuit of a closer relationship with HaShem is part of our spiritual DNA. The need to muster our courage and ford all rivers that stand between us and G-d, is a challenge we face even today.
Dedication: This show is dedicated to the Hoerster family.
