Reflections On the Genesis Narrative
2026/10/07
With the conclusion of the festivals of Tishrei, this week we begin the weekly cycle of Torah readings with the first portion of B’reishith, the start of the Book of Genesis. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the creation of man, and share thoughts on this expansive Torah portion. Our hosts also give thanks for the great miracle of the thwarted plane hijacking that took place during Sukkot and examine the media's -- and the world's -- reaction to this unprecedented event... and its meaning. _________

Why is Yom Kippur the Happiest Day of the Year
2026/09/16
Yom Kippur, the awesome 'Day of Atonement,' is not only the holiest day of the year...it's also the happiest day of the year. On this day, the world is bathed in a great light of Divine love and forgiveness. But to avail ourselves of its power, we have to be present and focused on 'teshuva' - spiritual return. What is the secret of repentance, and how does one actually go about it? Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman prepare for the arrival of the awesome day...the day when God promises forgiveness and rebirth - and a brand new start - to all who avail themselves of the gift of repentance. May you and your loved ones be sealed in the Book of Life for a life of blessings, joy, good health, prosperity, wisdom, peace, and every Heavenly blessing, and most importantly, closeness to Hashem!_________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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 Renewal of All Creation
2026/09/09
The holiday of Rosh Hashanah marks not only the beginning of a new year...it is the time when God recreates a completely new world. Every human being -- all Adam's descendants -- are judged and given new life at this holy time. We endeavor to recognize and declare the sovereignty of the Creator, and the penetrating blasts of the shofar remind us of His coronation, while beckoning to us to be mindful of our own great potential for change and total restart. In this week’s Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman prepare for Rosh Hashanah, birthday of Adam and time of awakening. Jerusalem Lights wishes everyone blessings for a Good and Sweet New Year, to be signed, sealed and delivered in the Book of Life! _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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.

"You Are All Standing Today Before God.."
2026/09/02
In this week’s Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore some of the profound themes of the Torah portions of Nitzavim-Vayelech, as the final Shabbat of the year leads us toward Rosh Hashanah. Moshe renews the covenant with Israel one last time, emphasizing personal and collective responsibility, the mystery of “the hidden things belong to Hashem,” the promise and accessibility of teshuvah, and the revolutionary declaration that “the Torah is not in Heaven.” Above all, these portions challenge us to recognize the gift of free choice: to stand honestly before Hashem, choose life, and then move forward into the New Year with courage, faith, and renewed purpose. Don't miss Rabbi Richman's shofar blowing!
It's All A Gift
2026/08/26
The theme of the Torah portion Ki Tavo (Deut. 26:1) is particularly powerful during this month of Elul. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman find that the portion itself seems to contain two utterly different worlds: The farmer walking on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem with his first fruits offering amid music, gratitude and joy-- and the terrifying darkness of the verses of the admonition. But in reality they are not two subjects at all...they are relating to the same concept: the importance of serving God with joy, and learning to appreciate that everything we have in this world, is exactly what we are meant to have. The secret is to learn to receive the blessings in our lives, with joy and appreciation.

Finding Holiness Where You Least Expect It
2026/08/19
There's a thread running through this week's Torah portion of Ki Teitzei: there are holy things in this world that have gone into 'spiritual captivity,' and the work of teshuva (sincere return) is not merely to defeat evil, but to recover that which has been captured. In this week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman remind us that Elul is not about discovering what is wrong with you...that's not what repentance is all about. The goal of Elul is the reclaiming of our true selves.

Welcoming the Amazing Month of Elul
2026/08/12
The new month of Elul is upon us, and this week's Torah portion of parashat Shoftim (Deut. 16:18) always falls out at the beginning of this month. The powerful subjects in this Torah portion-- judgement, self-discipline, leadership, prophecy, refuge, warfare and more-- all have spiritual dimensions that can be turned inward. The confluence of Rosh Chodesh Elul with this portion, challenges us to examine institutions that are ordinarily understood on a national level, and discover their echo beckoning to the soul of each individual. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman share their thoughts on the great spiritual challenges and goals of this last month of the year. ________________________________________________________________________________Rabbi Richman writes on Substack about Parashat Shoftim and the Month of Elul:https://chaimrichman.substack.com/p/m...https://chaimrichman.substack.com/p/p..._________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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.

Torah's Most Deliberate Mystery
2026/08/05
As the concept of the Holy Temple slowly emerges in the pages of Deuteronomy, Torah is coy...rather than revealing its Divinely-chosen location, the verses describe it mysteriously as 'the place that He will choose to place His Name.' Why was it left to David and Samuel, much later in history, to reveal the place that was known all along? In this week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore this mystery, and together, share some fascinating original insights in Torah wisdom. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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.

A Celebration of Divine Love
2026/07/28
This week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast focuses on the ancient, Biblical holiday of 'Tu B'Av' - the Fifteenth of the month of Menachem Av, occurring this year on Wednesday, July 29th. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman delve deeply into the rich teachings of the sages that illuminate the fascinating history – and prophetic future promise – of this little-known holy day, called by the sages ‘the happiest day of the year.’ What is the source of this happiness? What is its message for us today? Our hosts share a sampling of Tu B'Av's powerful lessons of joy, renewed hope and the illumination of eternal, unconditional Divine love.See Rabbi Richman's new Tu B'Av essay on Substack here: https://chaimrichman.substack.com/p/o..._________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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.

Why Do We Mourn?
2026/07/21
The observance of the fast day of Tisha B’Av this week (July 23) will mark 1956 years since the destruction of the Holy Temple. The rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem is a Torah commandment, and anticipated by every prophet of Israel. But what relevance does the distant memory of the Holy Temple have for us today? Should we be mourning the past, or preparing for the future? Tisha B’Av means different things to different people…what does it mean to you? In this week’s episode of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, our hosts discuss the significance of the Holy Temple for all mankind, the promise of hope that it brings to humanity, and the big question...how is it going to be rebuilt? Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman share an inspiring, exciting perspective of Tisha B'Av and Holy Temple consciousness.

The Torah of Moshe
2026/07/15
The Book of Deuteronomy is called 'Devarim' in Hebrew, literally 'words.' This week's parashat Devarim begins the farewell address of Moses to his beloved people of Israel, 5 weeks before he passes from this world. This fifth book of Torah is uniquely different from the others...it is emanating from Moshe himself. The man who had previously self-identified as 'heavy of tongue' and unable to speak, suddenly begins to deliver the most beautiful oration. He proves himself to be a master of words! How did this transformation take place? In this week's edition of the Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder Moses' unique relationship with the people of Israel, as reflected in the amazing book of Devarim. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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.

Speech is Divine
2026/07/08
Parashat Matot, the first of this week's double Torah portions of Matot-Masei, (beginning in Numbers 30), opens with the subject of oaths and vows. Man’s ability to speak is a true reflection of the Divine image in which he is created, and his words have the power to create-- as well as to destroy. If he uses his words wisely, he can truly emulate God and bring blessing to the world. This week's Jerusalem Lights podcast finds our hosts in deep reflection on man's unique power of speech, and his great responsibility to use it wisely. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman share powerful Torah insights on these last two portions of the Book of Numbers._________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichmanJoin 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.

Pinchas, Leader for a New Generation
2026/07/01
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.

Bilaam, Heathen Prophet of Anger
2026/06/24
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.

The Wisdom of Not Knowing
2026/06/17
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.
