.On the backdrop of the Midrash's timeless lessons that shed light upon Pharoah's character and conduct and the horrific specifics of our ancestor's slavery in Egypt, Rabbi Richman emphasizes one of his favorite themes: The stories of the Torah are the magnificent stories of our as-yet-unfolding lives. There is much more to what we encounter in the weekly Torah portions then meets the eye. What does it take to bring a person to cry out to G-d from the deepest depths of the heart? Our hosts ask this question and illustrate the impact of the moment of truth through a beautiful story.
Issues of leadership: Rashi cues us in on what it really means to care about one's people, as in the case of the "Jewish policemen " who reported to the Egyptian taskmasters, taking the blows for the Jews. And speaking of leadership: What does Pharaoh's decree for the Egyptians to throw their own children into the Nile, have to do with the Transportation Security Administration, and the release of terrorists in Israel? All this and more on this week's edition of Temple Talk.
This week from the Temple Institute: Weekly Torah Portion: Va'era, with Rabbi Chaim Richman.
G-d sets limits on creation, but His love for Israel cannot be contained by these same limitations. In order to effect the exodus of the Israelite nation from the exile of Egypt, G-d reached beyond the laws of nature, and turned the natural order on its head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Light to the Nations, with Rabbi Chaim Richman: The Holy Temple: Man-Made or Heaven-Sent, Part V (Conclusion). Torah was given to man, not angels, and our sages tell us that one hour in this world is worth an eternity in the world to come. The Holy Temple is of this world, and it is our, and only our, responsibility to build it.
