Maimonides’ visit to the Temple Mount, 840 years ago, gives us special insights into the laws he relates in today’s lesson. Exactly who is commanded to participate in the Temple construction? And who is exempt? The concept of the secret spiritual power of children. On what days should construction take place, and during which hours? Requirements for the building of the altar, its stones and the ground upon which it sits.

The current Hebrew month of Mar Cheshvan is the only month of the year that features no holidays or special observances. But a closer examination of the mystical aspects of this month, according to the teachings of our sages, reveals that there is much more than meets the eye… and the best is yet to come! This program explores the connection between the month of Mar Cheshvan and the building of the Third Temple.

Then, returning to our Holy Temple Studies after the holiday specials, we now discuss the stones used for building the Temple… even as the government of Jordan plans to construct a fifth minaret on the Temple Mount, and the government of Israel expresses no opposition. What does this mean for us?
