There's a whole lot of transition this week. As the people of Israel prepare to conclude reading the Book of Numbers and begin Deuteronomy, we also mark the passage this week from the month of Tammuz to the month of Av, and we will be intensifying our levels of mourning for the Holy Temple as the solemn fast day of Tisha B'Av draws closer.
This week also saw the conclusion of the West's nuclear deal with the terrorist regime of Iran - was it a coincidence that this took place during the three weeks of national mourning for the Holy Temple?
The hosts of Temple Talk don't believe in coincidences: Enter this week's dramatic announcement that the Temple Institute is now raising red heifers here in Israel, in order to rebuild the Holy Temple.
How's that for a response to the Iranian nuclear crises? This week's high-powered edition of Temple Talk puts all the cards on the table and ups the ante...what will it be, nuclear holocaust, or global peace? The choice is ours.
