For many years it has been the custom of Rabbi Dr. Moshe Dovid Tendler, famed posek, professor, and son-in-law of the great Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, זצ’ל to perform the commandment of “Mora Mikdash” – showing reverence to G-d at the place of the Holy Temple, by ascending the Temple Mount in strict accordance with halacha – Jewish law.
The Rabbi ascends the Mount every time he is in the land of Israel. He has made tens of visits to the Temple Mount.
The following visit was filmed on the 23rd of Tevet, 5769 – January 19th, 2009.

Building the Mishkan – Tabernacle: righting the wrong of the golden calf. Don’t look for intermediaries to stand between you and G-d, but recognize that G-d’s presence is woven into the very fabric of creation. By extending G-d’s creation into the reality of the Mishkan, we create a place for G-d’s presence – no intermediary needed!

Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Seven things were created before the world: the Torah, t’shuva, Gan Eden, Gehinom, the Kisei haKavod, the Beit haMikdash, and the name of the Mashiach. We know that the Kisei haKavod and the Beit haMikdash were so created, for Scripture (Yirmiya 17:12) states, “The Glorious Throne, high from the first; the place of our Beit haMikdash.”

This Shabbat we read parashat Ki Tisa, and also the special reading of Parah – the red heifer. The sin of the golden calf, which takes place in Ki Tisa, is the sin of man attempting to hold G-d in his hand, to be able to comprehend and rationally explain G-d, to be able to point to G-d’s infiniteness and say, “Ahh – there it is!” – as if that were humanly possible. Parah Adumah, considered to be the “antidote” to the golden calf, is testimony to the unknowable and ungraspable reality of G-d.
