As we begin the book of Leviticus, (Vayikra), the third of the five books of Moses, the Torah gets down to the heart of the matter: The korbanot offerings made in the Tabernacle, (and the Holy Temple). These commandments which are difficult for us to understand and maybe even hard to warm up to, are, nevertheless, an expression of G-d’s will, and a test of our faith in Him, and our desire to perform His will.
Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1-5:26)

The people of Israel and the nations of the world are longing for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, and awakening to the grave and imminent danger that exists today on the Temple Mount, where non-Moslems are forbidden to pray, where Mosques are being constructed and where destruction of the remnants of the Holy Temple at the hands of the Moslem “custodians” of the Mount, continues apace.
It is in our power to change this reality. Join us on March 16th, (Rosh Chodesh Nisan), for THE FIRST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL TEMPLE MOUNT AWARENESS DAY. Whether you are living in Israel or you are living abroad, you can participate.

For seven days leading up to the dedication of the Tabernacle in the desert, Moshe rabeinu (Moses our master), assembled the Tabernacle and then disassembled it twice each day. As we ourselves prepare for the building of the Holy Temple, what can we learn from Moshe’s daily undertaking?
