Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Next week on Light to the Nations:
First Step to Freedom
We set aside all fears and distractions. We leave aside all daily considerations and concerns. We shut our ears to all put-downs and protestations. We open our hearts to but one thing and one thing only: Perfect faith in HaShem: We prepare the Passover offering. We are free!
Dedication: Dedicated to the Floyd Brothers.

Next on Bat Melech: To Be Announced April 27, 2011
It is time to search out and destroy all the chametz, (leaven) in our lives. Chametz is pride and haughtiness, and slavery to routine, all the things that separate us from G-d. On Passover we eat only matzah, unleavened bread, symbolizing humility and the ability to utilize the basic elements of water, flour and time in order to serve G-d, and thereby gain our freedom!
Dedication: This teaching is dedicated to Barbara & Norm Shegitz.
Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 5
Mishnah 1c
The fact that physical Creation is imbued with holiness is hinted at by the ‘for with the “yud” and the “hei” G-d fashioned the worlds’ Yeshiyahu (Isaiah) 26:4. With these two letters He created the world and the World to Come.
The letter “yud”, is the instrument through which He created the World to Come. It is a place of holiness and the Divine Presence, appropriately symbolized by the tenth letter, “yud.”
G-d created this world through the letter
“hei.” Since G-d is One, the world He created will in some way reflect G-d’s unity. On the other hand, the material world is very different from G-d and therefore it must have the ability to have multiple, separate components.
In memory of: Rabbi Udi and Ruth Fogel and children: Yoav, Elad, and Hadas
Temple Talk is a weekly internet radio webcast with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of the Temple Institute.
This week features:
Passover Freedom, Islamic Lies and Political Correctness
The Passover Lamb: The Power of Israel’s Faith in the Ultimate Face-Off Against Idolatry
The Pascal offering, (korban Pesach), and leaving Egypt for good is all about smashing idols and doing precisely what is politically incorrect, and this is exactly what Rabbi Chaim Richman, Yitzchak Reuven and special guest, professional iconoclast, Tzvi Richman set out to achieve in this week’s Temple Talk. The most essential and important and cathartic and healing and purifying thing Israel could do right now for the betterment of herself and all the nations would be to take a lamb to the Temple Mount, build an altar, and make the korban Pesach precisely as we are commanded to do. No fear. Just faith!

G-d’s glory fills not only the Tabernacle, but the entire world. Serving G-d in this world and living life in the acknowledgment of His omnipresence is a fine line, and a highly choreographed balancing act. The laws of purity delineated throughout the book of Leviticus are, in fact, instructions for maintaining a spiritual nearness to G-d on an every day basis, without falling into the abyss of our own physicality.
Acharei Mot (Leviticus 16:1-18:30)
Parashat Acharei Mot is read on Shabbat:

Passover: Festival of Faith
Every type of musical instrument represents and expresses different attributes of the human soul. Along with the voice, the various instruments played by the Levites formulate both praise for HaShem and spiritual instruction for the people.
