Today's verse describes the Ark of the Covenant being brought to the most holy section of the Temple, called the קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים Holy of Holies. While the entire Temple Mount is filled with holiness to this day, the most sacred place was the Holy of Holies, the innermost room of the Temple. The Ark of the Covenant is placed there upon the “foundation stone,” which is, according to the Sages of the Talmud, where the world's Creation began. It is the same location where Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22), and the site where one day the Third Temple will again stand. Today, Rabbi Yehuda Glick, founder of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, fulfills a vital mission of educating the world of the significance of the Temple Mount, the spiritual center of the world, from where ultimate peace for all mankind will emanate.
