In the Torah portion of Pinchas (Num. 25:10), Pinchas, grandson of the High Priest Aaron, 'zealously avenged God's vengeance' and received both a covenant of peace, and a covenant of eternal priesthood. Who was this man? What empowered his deed, and what is the nature of this special status he was given? In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman consider these questions...as well as the famed teaching that Pinchas and Elijah the Prophet, who lives eternally, are one and the same person. How did Pinchas become 'Eliyahu HaNavi,' the harbinger of the messiah's arrival? _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDN...Rabbi Chaim Richman's 'Jerusalem Lights', a non-profit educational organization, shares the wisdom of Torah teachings with all sincere spiritual seekers, emphasizing the ennoblement of the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the nurturing and development of each individual’s personal faith and relationship with the Creator.

The Torah portion of Balak introduces us to the shadowy character of Bilaam, a heathen prophet who tried to manipulate G-d's will to suit his own agenda. He was an itinerant occultist who, way back then, sought to prove that Israel does not have the right to exist. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman examine the mysterious prophet through a contemporary lens, and find that the modern scourge of anti-Semitism has much in common with Bilaam's twisted, baseless and ancient hatred. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDN...Rabbi Chaim Richman's 'Jerusalem Lights', a non-profit educational organization, shares the wisdom of Torah teachings with all sincere spiritual seekers, emphasizing the ennoblement of the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the nurturing and development of each individual’s personal faith and relationship with the Creator.

In this era of AI, humans are inundated with information, and the answer to any question is just a click away. But yet the Torah portion of Chukat, with its inscrutable ordinance of the Red Heifer, conveys a different message: There are mysteries in this world; sacred secrets that we will never understand. Indeed, the secret of the Red Heifer seems to stand in diametric opposition to the very essence of AI…two concepts that are as far apart as is the very difference between 'information,' and true 'knowledge'. In this week's episode of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman reflect on the mystery of the Red Heifer, on the connection between knowledge and the heart, and on template of true leadership. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDN...Rabbi Chaim Richman's 'Jerusalem Lights', a non-profit educational organization, shares the wisdom of Torah teachings with all sincere spiritual seekers, emphasizing the ennoblement of the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the nurturing and development of each individual’s personal faith and relationship with the Creator.

Everything begins to unravel for the Generation of the Desert in the Torah portion of Shelach. The debacle of the sin of the spies leaves its mark on the nation for generations to come, leading to the tragedies of Tisha B'Av and changing history forever. In this week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ask some hard questions about this epic trauma, in the context of historical amnesia and the psychology of fear and vulnerability.

The Torah portion of Behalotcha presents a 'slice of life' of the Children of Israel in the Wilderness. It opens with the inspiring scene of Aaron lighting the flames of the golden menorah at G-d's command, literally 'be'halotcha,' causing the lights to rise straight up. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman share their thoughts on lessons learned from some of the portion's diverse themes: the sounding of the silver trumpets, the journeying forth of the Ark of the Covenant, the complainers, and the inscrutable prophecy of Eldad and Meidad, who foresaw the epic end-time battle of Gog and Magog, the final death throes of evil before the Final Redemption. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDN...Rabbi Chaim Richman's 'Jerusalem Lights', a non-profit educational organization, shares the wisdom of Torah teachings with all sincere spiritual seekers, emphasizing the ennoblement of the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the nurturing and development of each individual’s personal faith and relationship with the Creator.

In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the inner meaning of this temporary disparity. Our hosts share their deeply spiritual, contemporary perspective on the unique characters featured in the Torah portion of Naso – the Nazirite and the Sotah, suspected adulteress…and share amazing Torah insight about the power of each individual's personal intention.

The 28th day of the month of Iyar is 'Jerusalem Day,' a modern-day holiday of Biblical proportions. This is the anniversary of the day, 59 years ago, that Jerusalem was liberated and unified under Jewish sovereignty in the miraculous 1967 Six Day War.

Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman reflect on the history of the great sage Rabbi Akiva and his student Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who rebelled against Roman occupation of the Land of Israel, and is credited with authoring the Zohar. What is the role of a 'tzaddik,' an exceptionally righteous person, in Torah thought? And why is it customary to pray at the tombs of the righteous?

This week's double Torah readings of the portions of Tazria and Metzora focus on the high level of spiritual sensitivity that Torah beckons us to cultivate: sensitivity to the miracle of birth, to relationships, to how we treat others… and to how we speak about others. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman discuss the unprecedented and inimitable Biblical phenomena known as 'tzaraat' – a Divine wake-up call which, in reality, becomes a channel for Divine mercy and compassion, providing a wayward individual who alienated others, with the toolkit he needs to reintegrate himself as a responsible and caring member of society._________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDN...Rabbi Chaim Richman's 'Jerusalem Lights', a non-profit educational organization, shares the wisdom of Torah teachings with all sincere spiritual seekers, emphasizing the ennoblement of the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the nurturing and development of each individual’s personal faith and relationship with the Creator.

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 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: [email protected] or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

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.

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.

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?
