Jerusalem Lights Rabbi Chaim Richman & Jim Long

This week, we prepare to welcome the month of Nisan, time of the Exodus from Egypt as well as the promised future Redemption. International headlines are focused on Israelis demonstrating against the government’s proposed ‘judicial reform,’ and all the while, devastating terror attacks against Jews continue unabated. What is really going on in the midst of this upheaval and who is behind it? In this week’s episode of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman take spiritual stock of the situation and focus on what is stake and how it all connects to this month’s theme of the Divine plan for Redemption and renewal of faith.

The book of Exodus comes to a finale this week with the reading of its last two Torah portions, Va’yakhel and Pekudei. The grievous sin of the Golden Calf resulted in the first Yom Kippur: the expression of the Creator’s eternal love and forgiveness for His people. On the day following Yom Kippur, Moshe instructs all those ‘who have heart’ to come forward and donate towards the building of the tabernacle…but first he delivers G-d’s declaration to observe Shabbat. The Sabbath and the Tabernacle are two expressions of the same concept: how to hold on to the true reality of the Creator, in an illusory world of doubt and materialism. In this week’s Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore and illuminate these vast and compelling concepts and their significance for all people today.

In recent weeks, multiple terror attacks have been perpetrated in the Land of Israel against the Jewish people.  Families are being destroyed by these murderous attacks. This week’s Jerusalem Lights podcast looks to set the record straight and examine the root and cause of what Israel is currently facing. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman present a reality check of current events transpiring in the Land of Israel, examining the spiritual dimension and the historical and political roots and implications of this era. The truth is far from the media’s hypocritical, agenda-driven portrayal.

This week marks Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the new Hebrew month of Adar, whose apex is the holiday of Purim. This is a time of year especially associated with joy – but what is the secret of Adar joy, and how can we tap into it all year long? Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore the unique spiritual dimensions of the month of Adar and its confluence with the Torah portion of Terumah, featuring the fascinating concept of the Ark of the Covenant. As the Book of Exodus shifts its focus to building a home for the Divine Presence in this elusive world of illusion, we ask: if G-d is indeed playing ‘Hide and Seek’ with us, where and how can He be ‘seen?’

Jim Long’s current visit from Arkansas to Israel gives our hosts an opportunity to broadcast the Jerusalem Lights podcast face to face. United in the rabbi's studio in Jerusalem, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the close-to-home pain of a recent terror attack, and examine the urgent events of the day... trying to make sense of Israel’s current imbroglio of ‘judicial reform’ on the backdrop of this week’s Torah portion of Mishpatim: the Divine laws for a just society bequeathed by G-d at Mount Sinai.  ___

Yitro, father-in-law of Moses, was once an advisor to Pharaoh, and went on to become the world’s foremost expert on idolatrous beliefs and false gods. But then he found the One G-d of Israel, and became a devoted follower of Torah. This week’s Torah portion in which the glorious Sinai Revelation and the Giving of the Torah takes place is named after this courageous iconoclast. In this week’s Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman talk about G-d’s bequeathing the Torah to humanity and His covenant with Israel. But what is the true meaning of being ‘religious?’ Our hosts warmly call out to all those who continue the spiritual revolution that Yitro began: the non-Jewish lovers of Hashem, Torah and Israel who bravely choose to follow Torah, rejecting the false teachings of their upbringing, sometimes at the great personal cost of alienation, isolation, and ostracization.
