    The Mystery of the Small Alep5

    This week witnesses the confluence of the entrance of the new month of Nisan, and the beginning of the weekly cycle of Torah readings in the Book of Vayikra (Leviticus). What's the connection? Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the mysterious personal call of Leviticus, and the magnificent month of Nisan -- time of our past and future Redemption...as well as the time of the return of the Divine Presence to this world. In his Jerusalem studio in the midst of recording this program, Rabbi Richman was interrupted by a warning siren of incoming missiles; such is the current reality of life in Israel, as the war against the tyranny of the Iranian terrorist regime continues. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

    Building the Tanbernacle: A Mirror of Creation

    In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman reflect on some of the spiritual implications of 'Operation Roaring Lion,' Israel's pre-emptive strike against Iran's rulers who had boasted of their plans of Israel's destruction. As the Hebrew calendar prepares to transition from the aspect of the hidden miracles of Adar to the revealed miracles of Nisan, our hosts discuss some of the moving lessons of this week's double Torah reading of the portions of Va'yahkel and Pikudei, bringing the Book of Exodus to its triumphant conclusion. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

    What Is the Urim and Tummim?

    This week's Torah portion of Tetzaveh (Ex.27:20-30:10) mysteriously omits the name of Moshe, and though his presence is hidden, he is very much on the scene. But what's that all about? In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore this theme of hiddenness -- a major lesson of the Purim story, both past and present. Our hosts engage in a fascinating discussion of the Breastplate of the High Priest and its mysterious, oracle-like function known as the 'Urim V'Thummim', and begin to prepare for the upcoming days of Purim. The Fast of Esther will be observed on Monday, March 2 2026. Purim in most of the world will be observed on Tuesday March 3, and in Jerusalem, Shushan Purim will be observed on Wednesday March 4.

    From Mount Sinai to the Holy Temple

    The indescribable event of the Giving of Torah at Mount Sinai, highlighted by the Voice of G-d and the highest prophetic revelation, is grounded onto the earth through the Divine commandments that relate to the sanctification of everyday life, and circumstances of human interaction and conflict resolution which we find in the portion of Mishpatim. Fulfilling the Divine commandments in every situation fills the world with the light of G-d’s presence….and in this week's Torah portion of Terumah, G-d seeks a 'home' in this world to rest that presence…the eternal commandment of the building of the Holy Temple. In this week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman review the amazing trajectory of the Sinai experience, from the portion of Yitro, through Mishpatim, and to this week's portion of Terumah...the bringing of Torah down to earth. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

    The Greatest of the True Spiritual Seekers

    Moshe's father-in-law Jethro, Yitro in Hebrew, had been the world's foremost pagan priest and idolatrous practitioner...but then he turned his life around completely, declaring that the God of Israel is the One True God. How does such a turnabout happen? What was the price he paid for clinging to the truth, and what are the lessons learned for today's spiritual seekers? In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman reflect on the life story of this true servant of God and brave iconoclast...for whom the Torah portion including the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai is named. Our hosts also discuss the relationship between the Ten Commandments and all the other commandments of Torah. What makes these ten stand out especially, and why were they uttered aloud at Sinai?_________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

    The Two Halves of Torah: The Symbiosis of Sinai

    What is the true connection between the Tanach – the Written Torah – and the vast body of teachings that has been handed down ever since the Sinai Revelation, known as the Oral Torah? In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman examine the sacred origin of this unified revelation, focusing on the Oral Torah as the continuous, living transmission that makes up the ongoing, living resonance of the Written Torah. Our hosts demonstrate, through clear examples, how the Written Torah itself clearly testifies that together, these two halves form a seamless, single flowing garment of Divine wisdom and light. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

    What Really Happened During the Plague of Darkness? And Other Exodus Questions

    If free choice is of preeminent importance, why did God 'take away' Pharaoh's free choice by 'strengthening his heart?' Why did God initially command Moses to ask Pharaoh for permission for a three-day leave, if the intention was never to return? What happened to 4/5 of the Israelites who did not want to leave Egypt? In this week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman offer some answers to our viewer's excellent and thoughtful questions about some of the deeper aspects of Exodus narrative that we are currently studying in these weekly Torah portions. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.
