Podcast: The amazing power of Yom Kippur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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
Podcast: The Torah is not in Heaven (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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."

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
Podcast: Set the captives free (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 reclaim
Podcast: Welcoming the amazing month of Elul! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 beck
