Temple Institute Shows
How do you feel about yesterday? Are you being held back by what was? At dawn, a single kohen – priest – is chosen to remove from the altar an amount of ashes and places them at the base of the altar, a procedure known as “trumat hadeshen” – the lifting up of the ashes and their removal to a pure place. Literally, “yesterday’s ashes.” Torah is teaching us, through the Temple service, how to deal with our yesterdays.

The glorious month of Nissan, the first of months and the month of firsts. From the moment that G-d commanded the children of Israel, while still in Egypt, to reckon Nissan as the first of the months, to the following year, when, on the first of Nissan, the Tabernacle was sanctified and the Divine service begun, signifying the perfection of
G-d’s will, and the fulfillment of His reason for creation, Nissan has come to be known as the month of months.

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!
