One of the Jewish prayers recited to commemorate the destruction of the Temple states: “You destroyed Jerusalem by fire, so too will You rebuild it with fire.” Above the Western Wall, archeologists uncovered a complex destroyed in the Roman fires of 70 CE; spear-pierced skeletal remains give silent testimony to the tragedy. Thus we can understand destruction by fire, but what about construction by fire? Perhaps it indicates the degree of passion necessary to engage in such a task. If this is the case, indeed we have merited living in a time where the latter fire is burning bright, and many are answering Nehemiah’s call: “Come and let us build!” Learn more about Rabbi Yehuda Glick's Temple Mount Foundation, taking steps to rebuild the Holy Temple in our time!

Just after the giving of the Ten Commandments, the Torah continues with various civil laws and their penalties. Following an event of such spiritual magnitude, an event that includes thunder and lightening, trumpets blowing and God’s revelation to human beings, the Torah immediately transitions to the most mundane of issues. Is there a deaper meaning here?
