A7 Radio's "Temple Talk" with Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven

Yaakov, our illustrious patriarch, flees from Esav's enmity and winds up in the arms of that arch spin-master, Lavan. But on his way to the land of Charan, he stops off at the Temple Mount, there to cement his relationship with the G-d of Israel and all his future generations. In this week's high-energy edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman have a special guest in the studio: none other than our good friend Mr. Jim Long, famed Noahide author, Egyptologist, filmmaker and noted lecturer on the Noahide laws...as well as on the Oral Tradition of the Torah.  Jim turns his inimitable wit and wisdom to the subject of Yaakov and Esav, especially as featured in his new upcoming book, Blood Brothers. Together, we ponder the relationships and reality of Yaakov and his nemesis, locked in a multi-level struggle to this very day.
