Temple Talk
If things had gone differently, Korach, a man destined for greatness, could have been remembered as a righteous individual… but his vanity and his materialism got the best of him… instead he wound up in a living hell… literally. Who was Korach and what was his real problem? Why did he attack Moshe and Aaron and make ridiculous, baseless claims against them? Join Rabbi Richman and Yitzchak Reuven as they discover that Korach’s gripe was not just against Moshe Rabbeineu; it was against G-d Himself. Korach, whose job was to help carry the holy Ark of the Covenant, wound up not even believing that G-d created the world. How does a great guy turn into such a miscreant? And what’s all this got to do with Numbers Chapter 19, the mysterious Red Heifer? Actually, it’s got everything to do with it! Tune into this week’s Temple Talk for an unparalleled symposium on the nature of Korach’s rebellion, the Red Heifer and the secret of purity, and most importantly, Korach’s unique relationship to Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon…and a Rosh Chodesh lesson from the great Rebbe Nachman for us all to take home and apply. Plus, a special bonus: The mystical significance of Hillary Clinton’s broken elbow! All here on this week’s Temple Talk.
Be sure to watch this week's short parashat hashavau teaching with Rabbi Chaim Richman: Chukat.
In this age of instant access to endless information, we are tempted to try to know everything! Is curiosity necessary a good thing, or is it sometimes, as our sages suggest, an offshoot of arrogance?
True wisdom is in the acknowledgment that there are things that lie beyond our intellectual grasp. This wisdom is the portal to purity.

And the latest Light to the Nations video teaching: Holiness in this World: Rambam's Hilchot Beit HaBechirah – The Laws of the Chosen House – chapter VII: The Holy of Holies, the Holiest Place on Earth: What is holiness? How can we become holy? Can a place or time be imbued with sanctity? Torah teaches us an emphatic yes to all these questions. And the soul/time/space nexus where the holiest moment of the year, (Yom Kippur), and the holiest spot on earth , (the Holy of Holies), and the individual who represents the holiest possibility of man, (the Kohen Gadol – High Priest), meet and merge together is nothing less than the purpose of creation. Premiering Thursday, June 25.
